Where can i buy the tubing?

[Mollett89]

Awesome work !!! Can't wait to see the finished product !

Are you going to do away with the cantilever front suspension and go conventional shock setup???

Dam nice work,

[desertmaxx]

for now i think i am going to keep it, but i might change it if i don't like it.

You'll be much happier with up right shocks..

Also is the tube work braised or welded?

Looking great so far, I'll be watching for the finished product...

thanks, maybe i will upright it then if you all say its better...

its is just tacked now, but it will be completely TIG welded together.

[desertmaxx]

wrapping it up... going to do a tear down to weld it all together and to rout all the wires.















my crappy pics do not do justice for this rig boys.
