Re: "52 3600/3100"

They do look a little large alright. What will your final tire diameter be?

Re: "52 3600/3100"

smokin deal on the wheels. nice.

here are a few welding sites that may help you improve your game if interested. the first one has some really good info for anybody to keep in mind no matter your capabilities. he also has a few others if you google the site. always best to start with metal that is clean on both sides, if possible, of course. impurities get drawn into the weld from the backside.

Gotta love those good deals that come around every so often. Usually, for me, they come around right AFTER I just bought a new somethingorother(yup, one word)
28 is a good diameter. What's your diff gear ratio?

I was able to get my motor mounts tacked in today. As well as get the old seat frame out and test fit the new seat. I am pretty sure its mandatory to sit in the seat and take an imaginary drive right?

It sure is! Or do like I did, I taped the steering wheel to a broom handle and stuck it through so I could get a feel for what it would be like driving Nice progress!
