Nice, I dig the drop down spare mount. I've been kicking around ideas for mounting my spare and had thought of something similar. I might have to pull the trigger and do it now!

It's looking good thank you for posting the pics!

Where you lock the wheel down with the round plate, will that plate scratch the surface of the rim? Or is there some sort of spacer to keep the surface of the plate from contacting the surface of the rim? Just wondering that's all! ;)

It looks good though I like how it's coming along!

I was wondering that myself. I believe he uses a rubber cushion between the plate. Should be prepped and painted by next week.

It's hard to tell from the pictures; Were the welds cracked where the cross members meet the frame rails?

Looks great, good job. I'm not sure how much work you did or how much you outsourced but every rebuild needs a good job foreman. Looks real nice.

Thanks! I didn't do any of the work, had it done by a local shop. I could of but don't have the time and needed it done asap. Gave him a budget and a list and he far exceeded my expectations.
