I hate to say it but I lost interest in it for a while. I finally started working on it some more over the weekend. The springs are hung. I have a few more odds and ends to weld and then I can finish rebuilding and hanging the axle. My goal is to be done this coming weekend.

Here is a few pics of the current progress.

looks good. everything looks like it's coming along nicely. don't forget to weld a plate on the little box above the frame before you weld on the shock hoops. hah.

trail gears kit did. It comes with gussets of all sorts. Some of which I have yet to find the use for. Maybe you know. It came with about six 1/2"-3/4" tubes maybe 8" long that are angle cut on both ends.

The only thing I can think of is maybe it's to gusset the shock hoops.. but there is too many of them.
