[Project Bike Truck]

One big post



As the deadline for a rolling Biketruck approaches, (10/5, the date of the company car show I put on) I have been frantically thrashing away to get stuff completed. I welded in the inner frame rails and the transmission mount. I sleeved the transmission mount with some ⅝ x ⅜ id tubing to not crush the frame. I was floored when the transmission mount bolted right up.





I went ahead and got the Torque Arm mounted as well. I hand-cut the tabs for the TA. That was a little time consuming. I went ahead and welded every inside and outside edge I could. The worst part of welding the crossmember in the car was the outlet I have to use to be close to the car kept popping the circuit breaker. All the other outlets I can weld as much as I like. So my welds are a bit uglier than normal.






I often wake up at about 1am with a thought or idea, most of the time its just anxiety. I woke up the other morning with a great idea to make some gussets out of 2x3 to tie the front inner frame to the original frame. Should be pretty rad and strong as hell, and I will add the same style gussets to a couple other parts of the frame.




Thanks for following this build thread!
