just a couple pics.she's a rag right now,but it'll get shined up,and blinged out eventually.

take your time and it will be a awsome project!!!!

it is a tight fit. you will have to heat and dimple the frame or replace the lower section. i removed the two back braces and dimpled the frame. i then welded a 1/8" skid plate on the bottom for strength. it is not an easy task so take your time. you will need a welder and torch.

and read my post on .org in the pics section.

IMO, you should change the lower frame rails instead of dimpling them. Would look cleaner and be stronger because I see you being hard on your stuff.

1. It'll make me very jealous
2. I wont be able to keep up on the hills.
3. Now that you have the power, there is

excatly my postion max.set the brass bag on the tank and clang,clang.i gotta build something to keep up with you.i still haven't climbed scareface,and that makes me jealuos,lol.

it'll be a fun hill climber.plus i've been talkin about building one for what....8 months now.time to sack up.how do you think she'll handle with a stock swinger ,gonna be nutty!!

[Dusty]

all you guys are just full of your selves.....max, brandon..you dont have brass balls you only have a fleshy patch where they used to be.....lol.....just j/k sounds great.........

[atctim]

Looking forward to seeing this Brandon. BTW - once it's built, I may take out a personal life insurance policy on you - LOL. Keep us posted - and write a book on how you do it, cause someday I'd love to build one.

[3leggeddog]

i want it built already!!i am so stoked.it wil be a few weeks before she rolls,but you guys will be ther every step of the way!!

[200x Basket]

with a stock swinger it will be a DEATH trap. the 6" swinger i have is about 4" too short. in 4th you still cant pin it. have you ever rode a cr500? it is a beast to say the least. lots of fun

[3leggeddog]

yeah i have rode lots of em.don't really know what all the fuss is about.jeff has a nice 97 i love toolin around on.just a 2 wheeled tractor to me.lots of tourqe,and plenty of power.i think i'll be just fine on a stock swinger.besides,i don't want something i have to run wide open to climb hills.i figure this way i can just baby it around,and unleash it when nessicary.i am sure it gets alot more traction as a 3 wheeler,and thats why they are so crazy.we'll see what happens
