Flat Kitty Build.

#1
I acquired 2 motovox stand up scooter wheels and salvaged a real sweet 1978 3 horse 2 stroke Tec engine from a snowblower.I burned some .125 hot rolled steel plate for the outside frame rails...Gonna add 2 more ribs inboard once I get the bicycle neck width sized up...It will have about a 22 inch wheelbase...

Thanks to all for the interest...Tonight I cut the inner ribs..I programed 1x.125 recesses in them to accept the cross bars I will weld in to hold everything true..I will clad the curved fender sections with 18 gauge sheet metal,I got the bicycle neck apart also for the mock up of the front forks.

Today I got the frame outers and the inner ribs sized and tack welded into shape.I cleaned up the bicycle neck and it will work with the 2 stroke engine but I was hoping to set this frame up to also accept a 13 inch tall engine[Tec or Briggs flathead} But cant do it with the short neck tube.Now I must decide to commit to the 2smoke engine or extend the neck tube by three inches? What would you guys do???Help!

I got the neck extended to fit a Flattie just incase..This machine will be approx 18 inches from ground to top frame area.Most likely going with some ape hanger bars?
