Cut in the box plates and mocked things up yesterday. Now it's time to weld.

This is not an application to learn on. You better have someone qualified weld that and you should learn on a less critical weld.

Got the frame boxed in and the welds cleaned up. Now time to level the frame and mock up the saddle for welding.

Got the C notch cut and welded in yesterday and then I couldn't help myself so I stayed at it and bolted most everything up.

















Looks to be a little bit lower than the old stock rear.
