And, yes, smart guy, I WAS working on the bike, too! I'm just not in any pics 'cause I was takin' them!

Tweedle in his garage prepping parts

Here's some of the parts. Something old, something new, something stolen, something.....blew up?

The frame bits after some careful cleaning. Nothin' but the second best, baby! It's hard to tell, but that rear tire is actually pretty big for a mini.

Tweedle cleaning up the freshly cut new head tube. The old one was junk. Well, really bad junk!

Hack that frame! The stretching of the frame begins.....by lopping it off in several places.

The frame side is actually upside down. The section that's been lengthened is the upper tube. Oh, and that's our recent member addition, "VD", in the middle there. He's always good for comic relief.....especially when he's not intending to be!!

Me like fire!

Tweedle in the background, his woman in the doorway, and Big D is settin' up the mini-lift. The candy pink ride up front is Big D's. The yellow one is Tweedle's flat tracker. It's got a stretched frame and 5 hp of fury, as does Big D's! Mine will also have 5 thumpin' ponies, but only after a carb rebuild.

Let the joining of the frame rails commence!!! But, uh, I don't think that seat will suffice. Something cooler is needed.....

Hmmm.....how in the hell are we gonna make sure this thing is square to the frame? Well, it doesn't much matter if the frame's not square to begin with, Cletus!
