You'll never wrestle it from the girls by then!
Haha.
I hear you and feel similarly, only hoing to have opportunity to drive the damn thing(s) before that day arrives.
Suck to be planted in, with a tombstone reading like an ebay ad of what it's missing....

It did run......and really well. It's hard to see the future on the project. I've got 3week old twin girls right now....!! I have the build plan all in my head. It's tough plan when you got bigger things going on. The build does not leave my mind for very long though... Just keep building them so I can see others move closer!!!
Congrats on the addition! Twins scare me.
Congratulations! You DO have your hands full. 
to your Wife, who really deserves it.

I sold my 80, so now I don't have a running Cruiser. Twins getting easier so hoping to get back at it.....
That's a damn dangerous situation to be in.

Wow, this is legit.

Nice work...been awhile since I delivered that '69 to you. I'm down in Ocean Beach again visiting family and headed back to CO today or I'd try to get up and see the project. Appears we're on the same track but a generation apart. Our first grandkid was born out here last week...that's why we're out. Like you, my '74 will be my coffin...either it or the 914-6.
Onward...

I was thinking since you already mocked the link suspension it would be really easy for you to make another set for me, right? I really don't like the leaf suspension the PO put on my Pig.

Some progress. Rear and mid crossmember mock up. Getting close to bolting on rear shocks and cycling the suspension.
Man, we could be looking at the first pig that wins the Baja 1000!
How did you even figure out the shape of those triangles?!! That thing is so crazy. Remember I want a ride in that thing when you are done! Happy Fathers day
