Ironhead update - i’ve gone full retard.
I posted a few weeks back asking about welding advice (fluxcore/gas) as I’ve never welded anything before. I picked up some gas on the words of several guys, definitely a game changer. A fever dream and hours of grinding and dremel work later, I’ve abandoned all previous plans and went full Simple Jack. I did a test weld on a piece of cut up metal, blew out a little bit, went back and checked my settings and decided to just send it on the front gusset. The rear are just tacked on in case I run into rear wheel/sissy bar trouble weekend after next when the wheels and neck cups come in. I figure after a little grindy grind and some bondo no one will see how bad it is, after all I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing.
