Finally got a chance to work on the bike again. I drilled a 1 1/8" hole in the pedal crank housing to weld the 1 1/8 tubing welded to the 1' tubing. Added 8" of 1" tubing to stretch the frame and used black pipe inside for support to the existing frame tubing. Drilled 1/4" holes on each side to plug weld to both the existing frame and extension pieces. Everything is now tacked in place, ready for finish welding. Will still need to fabricate the engine mounts.
