well the good news is the rear axle is removed

the bad news, the project is on hold again. As i was pulling the axle out from under the frame, i caught the shock (I think) and knocked the frame off the jackstand, sandwiching my hand between the leaf spring and the axle. i was pinned there, and started yelling for help. luckily the neighbor came over and was able to left the frame off my hand. So we went the the ER. no broken bones, but two places that "popped" open with the insides sticking out. they're about 3/8" deep. 11 stitches to sow me back up. the doc said it might be 2 or 3 months to regain the full strength of those muscles. So we will see how it goes before I get back out to the shop.

The big concern now is infection. Grease and dirt from the axle got pushed down into the wound (even though I had plastic gloves on). He washed it out, but didnt sound real confident it wouldn't get infected.

in the mean time i'll come up with a design for the motor mounts and front suspensiom
