You probably weren't looking for this answer, but your safety might be at stake here.
I was thinking the same thing.

Well I got myself another frame which is straight.
On the plus side I now can now get the frame painted properly before I start swapping parts over.

Good to hear you found a frame.


It's a fun job swapping everything. I've done it a few times.


I had a Hurricane frame where the PO ground all the welds and bondo it. When I got the bondo off the welds were cracked because he destroyed the integrity...very dangerous. I welded it and reused it.

Yeah, I have had my frame down to bare metal and there were zero filler areas that were not filled with weld from the factory. All the tubes are straight rectangles. No bondo anywhere.
Glad you could find a good frame!
