Today I went to the local shop and got all the ball rolling on the reassemble.
took rear shock in for new spring, rebuild, and revalve.
ordered longer e-brake cable.
longer brake line.
longer o-ring chain.
new front 15t sprocket. ALL for $368.53
Still need to add in those fin style gussets.
Then i can remove it from the jig and weld the bottom.
Then i can do the fun part and make it look like it was never even welded.
