Rear Axle Complete

All of the fabrication is now done on the rear axle. I rotated the pinion up 4 degrees along with my spring over conversion. Also, I added welded up the rear disk mounts. I mounted the calipers such that they would be as high as possible and also have the bleeders at the top of the caliper. Next, I re-assembled and painted the rear axle. I prepared each axle by wire wheeling to bare metal, then applied a phosphoric acid etch, then painted on the Zero-rust. We'll see how it holds up. Here's the axle painted and mocked up under the frame with the tires installed.

Next, I'll have to get the saginaw steering box installed on the frame, and then I can finish and paint the frame.
