I've been working on this for a few days now.....working, studying & planning. I finally have a little something to show.
first of all, I wanted to give it some ground clearance.....instead of 4", I have 12". I also made the frame 1 foot longer... to allow for engine mounting, behind the seat. (I haven't decided on a powerplant yet )
I am not yet pleased with my steering geometry, but for grins... I have it standing on it's own 3 wheels.
Speaking of wheels....look at the spokes on these! I don't know what gauge they are, but they measure 1/8"!! The axles are a 5/8" bolts.
I was making good progress today, but ran out of welding wire! The welding supply store, down the street was already closed.
C-clamps to the rescue!!
sidenote: I found metal cutting blades for my circular saw for <$3 apiece.
here's a couple pics of my ghetto chopsaw.
Swinging on a door hinge.....sitting on an old BBQ grill. (not a lot goes to waste around here.)
Works like a charm!!
