A little update, i'm actually much further along than these pics. Just haven't had a chance to shoot it. Made the "chop," bottom frame is in, and the upper tube with extension is connected. I also had to cut out the uprights at the rear along with the top cross tube. Again, too much pitting. The replacement tubing is already in and i have to cut out and either extend or replace the side tubes. In addition to the lengthening, I also raised the top rear of the frame to get more headroom. The atv swing arm is going to work well. reversed the axle/sprocket to the correct side last night, cleaned and painted the main tube and primed the swingarm. That piece still needs the holes enlarged as it will have a 3/4 mount bolt using my old yerf rear mounts. The yerf's engine plate will get cut and welded to it, then i have to come up with shock mounts for the old yerf shocks. Once the rear is done, then i can work on grafting the atv swing arms to the front and adding the shock mounts. I'm going to have to extend the tie rods on the steering rack.
