Default HUP Progress

After an early morning clean up, I replaced the gusset plates that I had to remove to straighten up the ends of my frame. You may recall that I had a pin hitch gorilla welded to the end of my HUP frame - it was over stressed and as a result pulled in and bent the end of the frame rails - have a look at the bottom lip of the rail in the photo.

Since we didn't have a forge set up to make new rivets, I used round head hex bolts to replace the rivets. A little Bondo in the holes will make the bolts look like rivets. The nuts on the inside will give away the trick, but c'est la vie!
