This is the frame from the big inch shovel chopper we are building over the winter. The frame comes with a clean mso and a good line for our needs.
However, we came to the conclusion that a bit of TLC was needed. The neck had lackluster welds with some serious undercutting, and the gusseting on the neck was screaming to be cut out and shaped. We also know we are running a high mounted king sporty tank, and with a frame this long we have tons of visible real estate on the backbone, that means the fatbob mounts needed to be sheared of as well.
 |
| THIS IS THE BASIC START POINT. THE GUSSET IS HUGE AND UGLY AND THE FATBOB MOUNTS WON'T BE USED. |
 |
| THIS IS WHAT WE WILL BE REMOVING. |
 |
| REINFORCED WELD. |
 |
| STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW. |
 |
| SMOOTHED OUT AND READY TO RUN! |
