Softtail chopper- Hardtail frame

Next up on the softtail chopper build.

I wanted to style this frame to look more like a Panhead or Shovelhead frame that has been choppered so I opted for using rigid axle plates which were shape matched, and repurposed a ruined seat post casting to tie in the back bone and seat rails like it would have on a pan frame, the dimensions of this frame are very similar to a pan frame so the frame doesn’t look stretched like a softail does. I made mounts for the 4 speed transmission plate and set the axle plate width to 9” for a rear disk brake.
