PROJECT "Father/Son" C-20 Rolling Chassis Build
 
Here's a few shots of the rolling C-20 chassis my customer & son dropped off at my shop for some fab work.

Basically we are prepping the frame for bags, c-notch, and fuel tank before it's off the powder-coater.


Here's a few shots....Man I wish I had time to do this to the Chief !!!

Also want to mention what a great job San Jose Steam Cleaners did on this frame. This makes my work a lot easier.

Sweet. Tha KP notch is a nice piece. Well worth the money if you don't have a press brake.

I want to run 90 deg. fittings in front rather than the straights (to hide the line) but the supplied elbow fittings were too short, so I had to run to Royal to pick up these nice taller swivels....

Since we will be running a 700R4, the clutch rod pivot mount, and 3-speed x-member were removed....

Air-hammers are soooo nice !!! (so are grinders and drills)
