That's pretty much the space on the front of the foot box.
Never was not happy with the center tube, after setting the body to the correct height in relation to the frame. It was a start and held up the body while building the upper frame part.
Time to cut it out.
The Pines II was used to form the upper tube. 16 bends starting 3 degrees and then in the center 4.5 degrees.
That's a nice shape.
Bottom center frame tube.
Side center frame tube - ready for final weld (when body is off)
