I decided to start a build log for this because I believe my build is under way now. Today I have scavanged for a bunch of wood to start the jigs. I found some really nice wood at my grandpas place where he rents out to a cabinet maker and they throw away miss cuts and what not, so this wood is nice and workable. Although large pieces are hard to find I have enough to make a arm jigs and the whole front end. With extras to jig up the engine area. I also ordered YFZ 450 Hubs and raptor 700 spindles. These should be in the mail later this week meaning the jig can be officially started and accurate. Since I started this build log essentially after I started the build I will just post my progress so far which has been minimal.
I chalked out the frame "idea" for a visual when I just felt like getting away from my computer lol. You can dissect the chalk marks and figure out what they mean for the moment I will keep it my secret.... Images are thumbnails click to be larger... Because they are quite large and detailed... 3rd Picture is me with me rocking crocs figuring out seating... I was sitting on a lawn chair type thing.. A little to high off the ground.

Received the spindles/hubs yesterday and today so I measured them up for giggles and made them in inventor... The swingarm and rear suspension is on the way and should be here by next week... Hopefully next Friday, in the meantime I can begin designing my A arms...
