filled in what didn't look right on the rear x-memeber

got the front axle totally out ... that thing is fawked

put the LCA mount back in place. i put an 18" crescent wrench on it, feet on the frame, didn't move. found a more persuasive way to move it. right after that jack clicked into place, i looked over and the weld on the bracket was exactly in place. i couldn't have held it in place any better. once i finished welding it, i put the LCA back in place and damn if it didn't fall exactly in place just like the drivers side. i'm stoked.

thanx man, its the only way to build. anyone who lets things sits drives me nutz ... let alone my own stuff. i gota have it done before the end of july, i'm takin it on vacation with me, and i need to get some top-down cruisin in!!

this weekend i pick up the new windshield frame and pass door and another set of front fenders, then next week my dad will be in town and is guna help me with the body work.

i need the $$ to buy some more parts, that's really the only thing slowing me down right now. if i could sell my Banshee i'd be way better off, and if someone would just smash up another one, or swap up to better axles so i could get a used axle. i REALLY don't wana hit up the steelership for an axle ...
