1966 SWB Beginner Bag Build

[dawsonthompson]

just a quick update, I have decided to ditch the bag off the trailing arm idea and am now going to just build my rear bag brackets out of 3/16 plate and mount them off axle to the bars on my notch. However I am afraid that since i never cut down my notch i might have to as another cross bar to allow the bags to sit at the 5 inch ride height that is if i mount in front of axle. Which leads to my next question would there be any gains from mounting the bags in front of the axle or on top of the axle?. Either way Plan on starting this either the end of the week or next weekend just been super busy with work this week but i will make sure to post plenty of pictures!!

Went and visited my uncle today who just happens to have a plasma cnc and metal break and got down on making my rear brackets

The original plan was to make these exact brackets however in pieces and weld them all up but I couldn't pass up the opportunity of using the cnc table and break
