Update:
Been welding today, fully welding much of the new rear end structure. Added four new tubes giving some diagonal support. If i strike the tail to the ground i am confident that what i have done will take it. Im still not finished adding steel. This thing will weigh a metric ton when im finished, but she'll be solid.
Here are a few pix. You can compare to earlier pix (on MBN) and see what has been added.
Here in pic three you can see i have not only moved radiator aft but finally caged it in for full rollover protection-may i never need it.
Got about three feet of tube left out of the 21 foot stick i bought. Gonna need another stick. At roughly 5 bucks a foot it adds up. Ordered my 28 inch axles today. $140 from apple tree automotive.
P.s. my 26 inch 930 28 spline axles are for sale. They have 616 miles on them. Good condition working condition. 100 bucks plus shipping.
