Re: Corina Patina 65 low rider

got some more done today, got interupted quite a bit, oh a few hints to those who try and do this, the 4 main bridge pieces have a front and back and a left and right set, the front leg is shorter since that part of the frame is higher, the back set of legs are longer since the frame dives away.
My idea for moving the rear axle back has been put on hold, the bridges would not properly line up so we moved them to the standard axle position. We well try and move the axle back after the bridge is installed, it looks to have enough clearance to go bact 1 to 1.5" will let you know.

This is what we did as we went along:
