Re: Big Bertha Build thread x2

After wet sanding until my finger prints were gone, She went into the spray booth for some color. I forgot my camara so I have not pics of it in the booth. While it was drying I headed back to my house to get the chassis. Here it is as it arrived at my brother's place.


could probably use a slightly bigger trailer but it works. Now came the great union. Would it fit????? Thank God my brother has lifts in his garage or it would of been a nightmare to put together


I did not get any pics of the uion but it went pretty smoothly. Had to raise and lower it several times. Frame mounts went right on where they should and a few bolt later and it was a perfect match. The front clip did not line up so I had to take it off the tilt mechanism for the ride home. Here it is safe and sound back at my house.
