BUILDING EXTENDED SWINGARM was created by Chopperdaddy
Did a search but didnt see where this was covered . . . anyone have pointers or pics from there buils ??? It cant be that hard and im going to run struts so nothing specail for the frt mounting point. Like the look of round and square but dont care much for the original ends. I may go with square and make similar to the redline peice. Thinking of 6-8 over for the prostreet look with 150-160 tire. You got pics ??? Or secrets ??? May tool up to do a couple if anyone else around oklahoma is interested in helping and we can build them together ??

Into all things fast. . . Drag boats, bikes and cars . .. sucker for 50\'s thru 70\'s style also

I want to do the same except it will be mono shock and mount a 240 tire. I prefer round.

i like the look of extended stock arms also,problem being they tend to flex a lot without bracing.those aftermarket square tube swingarms also flex if you put decent power and sticky tire to them:S thats why i like a big beefy looking aluminum swingarm if its something im gonn be putting a lot of power to ground with;) everytime i see this ltd in th gallery i get a warm feeling but its not intended for putting everything to the ground,sure does look good though!B) B) B) B) B)
