Looks great, now that the weather is cooling off i'm gonna bring mine to my folks place and start sandblasting the chassis and getting it all cleaned up. I'll be following along with yours for motivation.

Re: Project: Agent Orange

Good thing there's still some POR left in the can...

Had the pleasure of removing the rivets that hold the leaf mount...yeehaw.

Shackle flip is temporarily installed, sits level on it's own now at least.

Not the leaf springs I'll be useing, so no worries about the axles not being centered.
