Thanks SR and P, you two guys are a wealth of information.

I am going to try to make the shape of the dime city one. Money is not my first concern within reason, $100-$150 is worth it to have what I want. I just can't find what I want for a dohc frame.

Once I get my engine squared away and ready to be put back together by an engine builder, its apart and I have ordered all the parts for the rebuild. Just a side note... The engine is going to have to wait a month or 2, I was supposed to have a $2000 bonus in august looks like it won't come til sept or oct. So, the engine will wait in boxes til then.

I am going to start with the frame next. I think I'll do the seat pan first. once I build the pan I'll take it to an upholsterer for foam and cover. I want to build enough room in the cowl for a gel battery and electrics.

Tell me if I am wrong, a gel battery can be layed on its side, correct?

I can't wait to get started. do you have proper names for the webbing I need, both heavy and fine? Also any suggestions on brand of resin? I'll be looking online.
