Haha another buy, and i thought i was bad LOL.
Im hearing you about the frame, if i see one suitable i may use it..... but are you forgetting one of the key principles of this site, at least what i take from this site. If i made my own frame from scratch the satisfaction wopuld be that much greater.
For example did you see the beautiful job Whozzawat did recovering his seat, and as someone pointed out to him, he could have just bought one, they are reasonably priced and it would have saved him a lot of work, but thats not the point.
For me building these bikes is just as much about the journey as it is the destination. I know very little but since ive found this site i want to try to do things myself, i may fail many times, but when i succeed its oh so sweet. Im sure you understand that. Im still only fairly young (35) so i want to aquire a lot of the skills i see other builders on here have.
In saying that i will keep an eye out for a frame just in case i aint got the skills yet to build one from scratch. Besides as ive mentioned my brother races cars and builds cages on the side so he has a bender and other things i can use to build a frame.
Off topic a couple of years ago he crashed his 1971 Holden LC Torana (very small car, think small japanese car size) with 400 Chev and a Procharger all under the bonnet putting out around 1000HP. It was a bad crash but luckily the cage saved his life
The car was meant to be featured in Australias premiere car magazine Street Machine but unfortunately he crashed it before the shoot, they did a story anyway.
