I cut the tubes.  The Cs have to be opened up to 3.25" anyway and I was getting frustrated swinging the BFH.  Burned through 3 porta-band blades on one side, plasma'd the other.  Hence "paperweight" status...

Brake conversion weight reduction calculated with quality digital calibrated bathroom scale.  21# per side of a D60 (brackets, rotors, calipers, no pads).  34# vs 55#.

Temporary F9 prepped and ready for cutting to length.

Not 100% sure about the long center section being too long for short side.  Bah!

I was worried about the opposite... Does leaving one side (or the longer of the two if its offset a little) leave you enough width to get your WMS where you want it? I'm guessing it does if you're moving forward with it this way

Just.  The neck-down bearing portion (about 2") gets chopped.  That's all.  So I guess the long center section really is no issue.

Rollers mounted on rear, front housing ends cut to approx width, leaf springs removed, housing slung.  ~28" lower link length (90" WB).  Things get a little tight near the oil pan...

Probably.  Could have been wheelin' for the rest of the season too.

Besides, wanted to do things "my way"...

Far too deep into the Rubi account now.  Meh.

Finished out the side skins so they match the hood perfectly on the Super Willys.
