Re: I finally got one!!!!!

I don't see any drop spindles in that kit, do you plan to bag it?
If you aren't going to bag it then I recommend CPP modular drop spindles because they bring the wheels in 3/4" to allow you more clearance for 20"+ wheels.
They can put together a custom kit that will eliminate unnecessary parts that you won't use.

Nice project! As much as you have gotten done, I think you need to start a build thread in the project/build section.

They are probably slip on parts, there are slip on and direct replacement parts and some retailers don't know the difference and sell them incorrectly as direct replacement parts.

Re: I finally got one!!!!!

You can buy american made patches that fit like they are suppose to.
Tabco makes killer patch panels for everything except outer rockers.
When you order from them specify made in USA parts only no substitutes.
