    I'm building the frame, but it will have the same body, front, and rear suspension. It's going to look a lot like that.

    I upload my photos from my Nikon digital camera via a u.s.b cable into my computer. Then I size them to fit by using a photo editing program. I believe mine are resized to 1200 x 900 pixels ?

    Good idea on the frame mock up. Come to think of it, I believe the ole Franklins did have mostly wooden frames. My Morgan had lots of wooden inserts in its frame also.

    I used a $100 miter saw from harbor freight. It cuts the angles easily. I bought a metal cutting blade for it, and it cuts 2x3x3/16 like butter. I'll post more pics later.
