Re: Skidmore '67 C20

@mdpotter, thanks. It has taken longer than I expected but it finally has some momentum. I just have to make up the rear brake lines and I can take it all apart again for clean up and paint.

@TA I was using poly bushings. I can imagine that rubber could flex more, but there may be some mechanical interference that stops articulation beyond what I measured.

I didn't make it into the garage yesterday and I'm heading out of town until Thursday, so progress updates will wait for xmas. Something annoying I've discovered is that the Currie axle has the brake line brackets too high up on the axle tube. This causes the brake line and fitting to contact the frame at full compression. The tabs are welded at the exact same angle, so I think their jig must be off. I am really not excited to cut them off and reweld.
