Front End Done!

Well!

Today was a beautiful day, and I managed to finish the assembly on the front end. I still need to lube and then plumb and bleed the brakes, but NOW I can measure for the steering column/shaft and also start thinking about how best to yank out the transmission.

This was the most (and least) fun part of the build so far- those springs are scary to compress.

But I'm extremely happy with the results - and how much I've learned!

I'm also lovin' the end result:

That's awesome- I expect the springs to settle another 1/2 inch, and then the motor to weigh it down another inch and a half- which means the end result will be a nice low front end rake.

Next... Yanking out the rear end, torque tube and transmission... in ONE PIECE?!? (ha ha, I'll try!)
