Thanks sir after identifying and grabbing the remaining brake parts I’m on to the swing arm which unfortunately I’m not sure if is in good enough shape to repair.. guessing it will need sand blasted and then magnifluxed to determine how bad the cracks are.. 🤞

I really dont know. that one is a modified stock swingarm...the from pivot is stock honda. I am sure it could be fixed by grinding out the old weld, then rewelding. Add some good plating and gussets. It wouldnt be cheap to have a new one built now days thats for sure. Labor rates are high and steel prices are high as well.
 
A Dana 60?!? They don't even put those in Jeeps unless they want to run 37" tires. Talk about overkill.

I'd think any good fabricator or welding shop would be able to fix that swing arm. Take it with you and have a good conversation with the guy so you can be sure he knows what you expect.

Thanks man!!
 
Took stock tank down to bare metal
Underside may be tougher debating sand blasting bottom but don’t want to warp the metal

using a 3M orange pad to clean the Mac drag pipes any advice to bring these things back to life I imagine rechroming would be astronomical price wise.. maybe powder or ceramic coat??
