seema alittle busy, but I like the half cab dealio, I will be doing something along those lines. I need a digicam.

 

[Shawn]

I like the idea of running the tubing into the frame 8" and welding it in several locations within the frame.

Busy??

Functional.

I thought of a new design for the Cruiser

Is that your winter project, Shawn? Very cool. You will love the visibility, weight bias, and storage space (yep, storage space) cutting off the back of your tub will give you.

 

[Hickey]

It seems like it would be a shear point though, where the tubes come through the plate.

you ALWAYS think of a new design for the cruiser. It's probably a good thing you don't have a garage right now.

Good point, however you could place a gusset in between the two tubes adding tons of strenth

Get your junk out of your garage so I can have a place to work.

I think he should have used a single tube, only larger diameter, it would look better IMO.

you can use the basement, we'll just cut a hole in the house to get it out when it's finished.

"Looks Better"

Why go after "looks"???

How much "Larger" of a tube can you go? Looks like 1 3/4 to me. I guess you could have done 2" and slid the frame inside the tude,,, That would look good.


Just another thought on how to mate the frame with the tube. I'll wait to see what your master mind comes up with

Yes, I think he should have used the next size up tube. The tube he used seems to small for the rig. Looks aren't everything, but one tube would have sufficed, and been a lot less work to build.

Good call on posting that question.

I thought it was me that got your mind going. (and not in that way).


Will have to see what is posted. I'm hopping some locals can post what they have done also.
Brandon, Rockmonkey,???

[Hickey]
