New rear suspension

I decided that I would wait to primer the frame as the Afterblast looks like it will keep it from rusting for a while and I have to take everything apart again anyway
It felt good to start adding something back on the frame. I unboxed the Chassis Engineering AS-2020C complete Rear End Mounting kit and set it out to make sure I had all the right parts. Those guys don't mess up, it was all there. Went together pretty well with their instruction sheet.
I first flipped the frame over and ground down 4 rivet heads, as instructed, that were in the way and then drilled out the existing spring perch holes to 13/32. I then bolted the new perches on and drilled out 2 more mounting holes for each perch and tighted them up. Then I put the back shackles on loosely and put the spring packs on. Now I realize that I need a rearend to finish up the shock bar, bottom shock mounts and rear sway bar. Time to go shopping for that.
Next I will tackle the front IFS which will be a bit more complicated
I just want to say one more think about sandblasting. I was told it was a thankless, tedious, dirty, messy job. It is all that and more. I'm glad I did it, as now I know every millimeter of that frame. I would do one more for you if you asked me and would only charge you $25,000.
