You are a master fabricator. What kind of rear end is that?

 

[bradwsm]

lets not get ahead of ourselves lol! Thanks Polaris sportsman XP 1000

Rear suspension mostly done, need to make the 4 long links to run from top and bottom of knuckles to the main frame

yo Denny was right you are a master fabricator I mean I’ve seen brand new ford dealership welds that don’t look as good as that

Well, they are fords.

Don't they call those "trailing arms"? You can call them whatever you want because this is awesome.

 

[bradwsm]

Thanks guys. I m not sure what they are called. I always thought trailing arms where different. I will have to Google! A little more done.

 

[bradwsm]

Frame ready for paint! Seeing it primed it makes me sad to cover all this work up!!

 

[Denny]

Why no double upper link to the rear hubs? The frame looks great by the way!

 

[bradwsm]

Lower rear link is attached to the rear sub frame.

 

[Denny]

But why none on the upper rear? Under acceleration won’t the rear tires want to toe in?

 

[Denny]

I’m not trying to criticize just trying to learn.

 

[bradwsm]

Honestly it may, lol! I just tried to copy the original the best I can!

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

I think the guys in Maranello know what they are doing.

 

[bradwsm]

That's what I'm hoping!lol!!!

 

[bradwsm]

Started aluminum. Not the most fun to work with but I'm figuring it out!

 

[Denny]

More funner than fiberglass!

 

[bradwsm]

Yes sir!!

 

[bradwsm]

Long day of riveting and fitting.I am going to be sore! It's starting to look like something now!

I consider myself very fortunate to be able to follow along with this build. Thank you and keep the updates coming.
