A-bone progress pics

This is an old pic from a couple of weeks ago, since then I've butchered the firewall a little and scooted the body ahead so the firewall is about an inch from the distributor.

Couple more. Now I've got the stock rear cut off and a 2x3 rear x-member in it's place so I can run the spring behind the axle

Cool MP33! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Hey, don't sweat the shady pics - I'm glad there's someone else besides me who is photographically-challenged! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Regards, Dave.

is the frame still the stock wheel base if so how much did you take out and what is the length and angle off the 2x3 tubing

Nice mini bike, Does everyone have one but me?
That frame is looking good.

Slazzen,
The Z added 5 inches to the frame. After I set the engine in and positioned it where I wanted it I cut out the firewall and slid the body up to the back of the engine. I then knotched out the wheelwell in the stock location and slid my rearend housing in. I then measured back 7" and thats where I put my rear X-member.

My wheelbase is about 108"

Here's a pic of the tubing

Here's a kwik sketch on how I figured it out, The angle is pretty fricken close to 45 degrees
