Are you going to do away with the cantilever front suspension and go conventional shock setup???

Dam nice work,"thumbsup"

 

[desertmaxx]

for now i think i am going to keep it, but i might change it if i don't like it."thumbsup"

You'll be much happier with up right shocks.."thumbsup"

Also is the tube work braised or welded?

Looking great so far, I'll be watching for the finished product...
