So whats up next?

Now that there is a solid primer on the chassis and shock towers I will let it dry up and then give it another light coat. Once that is complete it will be ready for paint when the time comes.

It would have been best if I would have cut off all unnecessary steel from the chassis before the blasting, but I was a little undecided as to how much I will actually need during the rear swingarm attachment stage. So I just left everything in tact and will start to work on the rear swingarm attachment point design.

The rear swingarm will be bolted to the chassis at its pivot points and by the shock tower perch. There really is not much welding or fabrication that will be needed. A few hours of welding if that will be required to get the chassis rolling.

What needs to happen before welding the rear swingarm can start?

Front suspension, brakes, and steering, need to be installed so that I can attach the front wheels and tires. This will allow me to determine the ride height and get the proper angle for the rear shock tower perch and pivot points.

So its time to go shopping
