I got some time in on the cruiser this weekend, just in time for start of classes again
I have decided to go ahead and pull the axles and swap the frames so i can sell them for my paint fund. I removed both axles and the suspension except one rear spring due to stubborn bushings...I was pleased to discover upgraded swaybars and extended rear shackles the springs don't appear factory either.
the disassembly continues...
I also got some picks of the dents I pulled in the rear quarter. Because of the future use of the cruiser and vulnerability of the rear quarters, I am not going to use bondo anywhere on this project. my goal here was just to pull the dents enough to look somewhat respectable and get the taillight lens to seal properly.
