Removing the rear suspension gave Max the opportunity to find a better spot for the external access fire bottles. You can see it in the last picture but here is the new mount area.
if it looks like Max's progress is going the wrong way you have to understand him better... he found some rust, so he just kept taking it apart to make sure it was not an issue. Then while it was all open, he decided to make some improvements he had been thinking about.... one thing led to another and the frame gets painted Monday.
Oh, here is a picture of the swing arm and side car frame, they have been to powder coat, as have the ballast weights. In fact Max has sent a lot of the parts to get coated and painted. His breathing does not allow him to do a lot of paint and body work, and he has a bunch of that planned, so he is picking what goes out and what stays in.
