thanks mazdamandan!
took the torsion bars off. that was it.
next step is to cut the fender wells out. and then find the right location for the bag brackets. Problem is when I started this project my father in law was bragging that he had a welder that I could use. since the start I found out today that he sold it! so now I have to locate a welder.
O'well here's the pics:
finally some progress! Now I'm getting excited and want to get this thing finished. The lower the better I always say. I want the problem that the ground is in my way!
