So yesterday, i drove and picked up my new frame from cyle. Chipped up paint, and bent torsion horn. Well since it is already late in the season i just sprayed another coat of black and did a grey accent. i have a suspension seat going in this one :D im just taking all my parts off my old frame and puttin it together. Heres a pic of what's been done.

Haven't worked in awhile but heres what i've done since saturday night......
made mounts for my toyota mr2 front calipers, single piston
Image
put new wheel bearings in the rear & got it rolling
Image
i've also got my floor installed, i made my shift linkage, put in my harness, mounted my pedals, started on my steering, put my transmission/axles, and tomorrow morning before i go to school i'm going to drop my motor in.
I'm trying to make this by laborday weekend.

A question:
- i am going to run a stock box, but i want to run 7.75 front tires instead of the 5.00 3 ribs. Will my box hold up, or will doing this cause a problem?

Where did you get the rear tires? You should be able to climb a wet monkey ass with those :D

As far as the box, just don’t hit a rock or tree and it should hold up. Seriously if you have a spare bring it just incase. I never had any luck with a stock box, but I wasn’t easy on them. I bent two new TRW boxes in one year.

You going to get some tree bars on before the weekend?

Hey as far as the lights. I like the 5 different areas and aim the outer ones out a bit. Just watch trees hitting em!

I'm going with 2 on the outside of the winshield bars and one on the mount in the middle. I need reverse lights and have no money, so just those 3 then 2 on the back

So. Last saturday i had a frame with a set of trailing arms and an unfinished front end. By friday night at 230 am it took its first ride around the yard. Went to wellsville, had a few problems. But i was very suprisied with the frame. I really like being short. Its a more fun trail ride. More excitement. More wheelstands! Well, heres a few of it. videos are gettin uploaded shortly
