    HA HA !!! I thought someone had come up with a solution to that situation since I closed my shop. I remember well the days of hoping somone would catch up on their bills so the doors could stay open. Just one of those pesky little details that people on the outside looking in NEVER seem to factor into the "Gee, it must be swell to have your own shop and be independently wealthy" train of thought.
    You guys do some exceptional work which means your under paid more than the average shop.:D Hope your customer drops off some cabbage soon so we can see this thing move forward.

    Excellent design and execution, there needs to be more round tube chassis on street cars and trucks, they definitely say i'm all business get out of my way!

    I don't want to hijack your tread, but a couple of other posters mentioned different methods of tube notching. I have a harbor freight mill i use for notching, the vice has custom fabbed large aluminum jaws to hold the tubing at the desired angle, and any bimetal hole saw will work. I can get 150 notches in chromemoly before a hole saw wears out, just make sure it's operating at the lowest speed. notching a piece of 1 1/2 120 wall tube takes about one minute you end up with a super tight joint, perfect for tig or wire welding.

    Are those Bickels four link brackets? He is the only guy I know making them with a sway bar mount, shock mount, and wheelie bar mount.

    No. He ran out of cash and took it home. He was even talking about selling it. If he does, I hope I get to finish it and it stays local.

    Ever sit next to a 4-speed, shift linkage, cage AND three pedals in a Model A? Not enough room, and the TKO600 will more than handle the power without Lenko cost. :D

    Buy her up & finish it as a rolling business card. No better way for the general public to see what you can do.
