frame jig fixtures
makin a new axle plate fixture,, the old ones i hav made an been usin are still efficient, but needin more adjustability, i made this to accomodate ones wantin wider than normal tire sizes, smaller or larger axle sizes,etc, etc.. with the adjustability been a little quicker an at the same time bein as or more accurate.. only bad point , at the moment is not bein able to shoot lines with the lazer level,,bein its a single post design,, but theres always the string method..

$5 gas tank....
I bought this tank at a flea market for $5,,,big ugly sob,,had about 6 coats of somekinda paint job on it an looked like someone had try to kill it with a hachet...
so,, needin more fuel capacity than my 1.5 gal prizm,, i proceeded to remove all the crap paint, sand out all the gouges best i could, an remove about 1.5" outta the center
welded back up,,redid the tunnel, mounts,,added fuel outlet an bungs for a sight gauge... then the fun began,,i added a rib to it ,,.25 round stock , heated,tack,bend to shape,tack,repeatrepeatrepeat...most ive seen done were just tacked then bondo applied to make the shape,,i welded this one all the way around,,ground,sanded to shape,,after alotta fire an fury ..
WALLAAA!! painted, an now resideing on my bike..
