As the structural completion of the frame nears the finish it’s been necessary to take the frame down off of the rotisserie setup to turn it fully upside-down to finish off the welding, this gave the opportunity to weigh the frame once more.

The current weight of the frame came in at 240lb (109Kg), this is as I said structurally complete though there are a lot of brackets and other bits to add to the frame yet.

I set the frame on blocks to five an idea of its final running height what’s shown below is roughly 1/2″ lower than where it’ll actually run at a minimum, depending upon how it goes on the street I may need to raise it some more 4″ ground clearance doesn’t look so much all of a sudden!

One other item of progress acchieved laely is the sourcing of some damper units which came off of eBay as so much of the project has.  The guy has one set left to sell if you are interested.

All I seem to be doing at the moment is welding, welding and more welding.

Below is a typical evening in the garage, it’s gradually get there though.
