This looks really good, Cricket @bikequeen
Nice to see the steering working as well.
70 kits in two years, now I do understand why you have little space in the house 😉

@johnb thanks John there were so many factors that could have affected the steering I was surprised it worked, the U joints are so tiny and fragile, the other kit had little black ring the keep the rack and pinion together and right away they broke. So anticipating that would happen again I used wire on this one…no way it was coming apart this time 🙂

It sure does look good, Cricket @bikequeen! 😃 I'd even say it looks great! 🤩

@bikequeen, that's a perfect solution which will last a long time, Cricket.

@bikequeen just ran across this WIP. Great detail on this build Cricket. Looks great.

I attempted a cutaway, once, what I was a kid. It didn't turn out the way I wanted, but in fairness, I planned nothing. I'd recommend curves though, as to straight lines, because it just looks boring and as though someone has just removed some panels? Definitely research what others have done, before you put it under the knife 👍

Well I was going to start to cut away the body today, had it all marked off and ready to go, went into the garage and fired up the scroll saw but it didn’t fire…it was stone cold dead :(. And it was FULL of brown recluse spiders….so needless to say it’s in the trash :(. Then I tried to find my jewelers saw frame and I cant find it anywhere. So I guess i will do laundry instead! OH JOY…..SIGH :/

And I feel guilty for wasting my time, organising files, for my 3D printer, all day?
That sucks, Cricket 😔 Maybe you could dig out a new bike? 🤔
