I love this build, reminds me of younger days when I would just search my parts bins for something tommake what I needed. I wish I still had all those parts!
Great work!
Believe it or not this is my first fully scratch built frame too, however I've done a lot of other things theta probably helped me plan this one a bit.
The brass rod is a panhard rod, helps locate the axel from side to side movement. I used brass in this case due to its strength over a piece of styrene in the same size.
Looking good, I like your bag set up, it's pretty neat. Looks like your seeing what I found with that chassis. I started doing the same thing by cutting it up and before I knew it I made a whole new one.
Thanks, I just kinda played around with it till I got something I was happy with.
The bags are just craft beads, I cleaned them up, drilled them out and stuffed a 1/8th styrene rod through them to make them solid.
