Got the rear brakes buttoned up. Sanding and smoothing the frame for paint. Not the kind of build that requires powder-coating. Ordered some brackets to flip the rear axle. I am going to cut off the old perches and weld some on the bottom because I think it looks better. Figured out I have a 2.73 gear in the rear-end which would allow me to run a TH/400. ( I have a good one in my storage) Since it is gonna be a cruiser the 700r4 overdrive might be useless.
Boring stuff that does not warrant pics.
