Canadian built... Project Dool-Eh!... Lots of pics

Here's what I had to work with on the front... The only rust on the entire frame

Then I did a bunch of grinding and trimming....

Then I got tired of trying to come up with a way to make something nice out of what was there so I said fuck it!

I ripped the whole crossmember out so I can work on it on the bench...



I'm gonna cut off both ends and rebuild them with nice clean metal with my own bag mounts. I'll raise them up a bit to minimize the depth of the cups on the lower arms.

I also got the machined parts back for the watts link so I tigged them up... It's been over 2 yrs since I last got on the end of a tig torch and boy do I ever miss it!... I'm happy with the way they turned out.

Some of the machined parts

Here they are put together

Looks aweomse those are some super clean looking watts pcs. THe speed dimples or whatever you want to call them add soem serious style to them.

Thanks bob!... Ya I'm really happy with them, now I'm gonna pull out the 4link bars and do them the same so they all match

oooh those are handsome

Got a bunch of stuff from cut so updates will soon follow...

Worked on the axle brackets for the watts link yesterday...

Here's the pieces to the puzzle

Tacked up

Here they are all welded and metal finished. I didn't stop to take any pics of the welds, but I can assure you they were just as aweful as the rest...haha

Another pic of the mounts


Got back out to the garage tonight for a bit and started fitting and testing the watts link... More to come soon

Very motivating build!
Watching this for sure!

PS - I love your fab work! Beautiful welds...clean work overall!

Wow, amazing work and great progress. The craftsmanship is very impressive. I'll keep checking back on this thread. Keep up the great work.
