Default In the Raw! Pics.

I still need to do a finish filing / sanding to it. I also want to radius all the edges at least an 1/8+ inch (any suggestions)? I also made a removable seat pan for it for when the ole lady rides. I'm also making a pad for the drivers seat back rest. The lower back support kicks ***. Plus with the motor mods I've done, it helps keep me on the seat. lol I'm hoping to get it to the chrome shop in a couple weeks for triple plate.
I could of saved allot of work using new steel as apposed to used steel but I do have a pile of that ˝ solid stock.

Sorry the pics are so big.

Looks awesome! Instead of removing it, I'd make a pad for the old lady.
