These changes result in a lower than stock frame having a perfectly straight backbone line from the steering neck to the rear axle when viewed from the side for the classic chopper look. The frame for this particular project is derived from the stock 1948 Harley hardtail design but we stretched the downtubes four inches, the backbone two inches and raised the rear axle plates plates one inch and shifted them two inches rearward. As work progresses on the chassis you can fabricate a jig one piece at a time when it s needed. About half of the frame is constructed without a traditional building jig being used to begin with so this is a good project to start with if you want to build a traditional frame jig but you don t have a frame to use as a mock-up. Others probably have different techniques but this system has worked for us over the past thirty years and guarantees a good straight frame using a minimum of special tools or really fancy jigs. 2 Old School Chopper Frame Fabrication from Part 1 The easiest frame to build is a traditional old school styled chopper since there aren t any complicated bends or compound miters to cut so we decided to show the chassis fabrication process from A to Z as we do it. ![]()
