ok so is been a couple weeks since i posted an update on this thing due to being back to work but my new schedule is gonna let me be 2 full days off a week weekdays only no weekends and im gonna be getting off work a 6pm the days i work not bell to bell like i been for the last 12 years so now i can get back on this thing and have more time off to work on my other projects .....

[luifer76]

i had some time to think about the changes i was gonna make on the backhalf...... i was off the last 2 days and was able to do some work one thing i know for sure i needed to do was hack off the bed frame since im gonna run my stock gas tank like i did on my 77 i also started to plate the inside and outside of the frame where the notch meets the frame and make it nice and strong i should have done this before but now is my chance here are some pics....

[luifer76]

i got rid of the bridge also..... the brige wasn't going to work unless i enlarge my notch 2 inches from the top so i decided to cut it off and forgot that besides welding i had drilled holes to fit the bridge pipe in the notch so i had to fish plate it.....

[luifer76]

I took a wire wheel brush to the stock gas tank removed all the surface rust and go it all cleaned up and ready for paint i also got rid off the bulky brackets since im not gonna use them anymore....
