Re: Project: Recycle

I already had a lwb frame that I used for 'practice' mods. I had thought about 'Z-ing' the rear end of the frame. After consulting, it was suggested I purchase a rear frame kit from Art Morrison or make templates & build my own rails. Not feeling that confident in my 'fab-from-scratch' ability, I decided to tweak what the generals engineering staff had originally designed.

I picked up some steel & adjustable stands that were destined for scrap & built a temporary frame table. It's not high-tech, but it's solid & level & that's what a novice needs to make the work legit.

I then x-braced the rear section of the practice frame to keep things as square as possible....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
