No I didn't check into tires, rims or brakes so if you have a site for them that would be a great help.
Thank you

Showed my grandson the plans today and he is all kinds of excited. He wanted to start on it today. He even looked at me with a big grin and said Pappy I'm going to have a chopper before you do. Go figure

The earlier you start them the better. He'll be using the tig before 7....... That would be cool. I used to always leave things for my boys to do. A part that even if they messed it up I could fix it. He'll always remember this project and the time spent with grandpa

Cool pictures Dave. If ours turns out a nice as those I will even be surprised.
I will print those pictures out and show them to him and see if he gets any ideas off of them that he likes. I want to thank everyone for their help on this project. This is a whole new adventure for me as well as the little one. I also told him that he must help thru the entire project and he agreed. What do you think as far as a welding hood goes for the little guy. Auto or fixed shade?

Fixed shade is alot cheaper. Only good thing about auto is he can look around before you weld. One thing about the fixed shade is, no matter what its dark. Have fun
