Started the breakdown tonight... Gonna hit hit hard again this weekend.

In the meantime I'm gonna have to take individual pics of all this unwanted parts. Hopefully I can move some on eBay

 

[snapahed]

Strip complete.... Waiting to sell some parts on ebay then the hardtail begins.

 

[snapahed]

Since I couldn't find a tank that fits the back bone of the bike that I liked, I went ahead and mocked one up today. So far I'm liking it.... Gonna have to stare at it for a few days before I decide lol.

 

[snapahed]

Tank is in the works!! Also cut 4" out of the fork tubes. Front should be slammed this coming week also...

 

[snapahed]

Tank completed and front end slammed. Now it's starting to look like a bike!!

 

[snapahed]

Hardtail getting pieced together... Defiantly excited for the progress!!

 

[TMadBobber]

Nice tank man

 

[Keiff Hardcore]

needs to have a rear facing M2 50 cal mounted on top of that swing arm...

 

[snapahed]

@fithdawn thanks!
@keiff I have something similar in mind

 

[fithdawn]

Do you have plans for the tank or did you just free hand it

And can you give me any tips on b building my own

 

[snapahed]

No I don't have any plans... Basically I made a template out of cardboard a few times. Once I had the shape I wanted transferred it to the aluminum, bent it and welded it up. Pretty straight forward.
