I pulled er out of the hole the other day and gave it a good washin.

natedog39 · 07-05-2010, 07:01 PM

I had to take a little break over the weekend to do some camping and spend some time with my bike which I've been neglecting of late.

natedog39 · 07-05-2010, 07:05 PM

The air tanks and fuel tank came out today.

Getting the fuel tank out was quite a job ,,,,that sumbitch is BIG.

Tomorrow the plan is to seperate the last of the body support structure from the rear end cap and remove it from the frame.

This will ease getting to the frame to move the rear axle back.

The Mrs's and I took a little ride for ice cream this evening and spied this on the way home.

You going to cut the frame forward of the axle and 180 the rear section? splice it back on?

Say what?

The frame is staying intact,,,,the structure that supported the body is coming off and going back on to be the support for what is destined to be the bed area.

I could leave it in place but it's worth taking off to access the frame rails to move the axle back.

Looking good, you have alot more time to work on your's than I do mine, and mine is a MUCH smaller project.

Again, can't wait to see this, good looking job so far.

That'd do it.

natedog39 · 07-06-2010, 07:04 PM

Got er down to the frame rails now,,,,,I do believe that's about it for the cutting. Now it's time to get on that rear axle.

That's about where the rear wheels are going to be when I'm done.

Motornoggin · 07-06-2010, 07:09 PM

I think it's a cool project! Looks like you have a pretty good idea of what you want to accomplish and I bet you get it done.
