How to weld on hardtail a shovelhead frame chopper build. Part 1

LINKS BELOW: Harley-Davidson Shovelhead swingarm frame converted to a hardtail. This is just one way to do it and I’m an amateur. Im not the best at explaining things and this kinda breezes over a lot so make sure to leave a question in the comments if you’re confused. You can do most of this with a welder, cut off wheel, flap disk, drill and files but this kit will require a pretty decent frame fixture.

You should really invest in this DVD from Ron Covell, pro stuff here:
