I installed a residual valve to keep pressure on the disk brakes. Then thru a shutoff valve on the dash. Then to the cutting brakes. Hope I can bleed it.

DMarks, on your tree bars add some diagonal supports so they don't cave in so bad on you. I will send you some pictures of what I did to mine maybe you can adjust yours to fit what you want your to look like.

I moved my seat back 4" to transfer weight and to get out the side easier if I need to.

I decided to leave the fuel cell in the rear. I was all set to move it up front. I qsked Roy what he thought and he said I wouldn't like the weight up there. So I decided not to relocate it. I did get a new one though.
I love aluminium.

Coming together nicely. I'm glad you took my advice about the fuel cell. It's right where it needs to be. Right over the axle. More weight over the drive tires. You would have hated it up front. Don't forget to put more bolts in your trailing arms! :!:

I am planning a trip to D&K Apr. 5,6,7. I would like to get it out somewhere for a day before that to make sure everything works.

You sure as *%&# don't need any help in the fabrication department. Nice and tight, looks real good. I can't wait for the end of June, it should be quite a gathering. Now If I could only post a pic or two........ MadMike
