Well, the rails are fully welded and at least one is blended (Dave works nights, so he got that done Sunday, I guess).
I had a brainwave and decided against putting the clip on immediately, I've cut spring pockets for bags a couple times and it really sucks, so I'm going to do it while the frame clip is not attached so I can flip it upside down and do it. I stripped the clip down Sunday and will get it power washed tonight or tomorrow, I also borrowed some bags and cups from a friend to get the pockets cut until I get around to buying some.
So no real pictures of that stuff for a day or two, I think this is a better plan of attack anyways, so the few extra days will be definitely worth the wait.
A facebook group led me to a used York EDC for sale locally, picking it up tonight after work for a steal. I have all the engine bay room in the world with the SBC, so I might as well have all the creature comforts.
