At this point the front end was rebuilt as far as I could go for the time being. I was ready to start the tube work but was waiting for a bay to open up at work to get started.

So in the mean time I worked on building the rear housing. First was a mockup and measurements of the rear wheel/tire combination.

Then the rear could begin with welding on the 4 link doubler plates.

Housing and 4 link brackets being fixtured up.

Once all the welding was done the housing ends could be fit which is a very time consuming/tedious process to get them perfectly square to the axle centerline.

A fixture was then made to hold the housing to the chassis table.

About the time I was completing the work on the rear, a bay opened up at work so I transferred the car to its new home.

...and now tube work could begin.
