Only the rear brake was done before.

Next are fuel lines and oil cooler hoses.
Tanks are already out and A/C is scheduled to go.

Little progress

Disc brake is now done. Might have to flare the rear fender a lil bit to accomodate the wheels. In the midst of redoing all fuel and oil lines with steel braided hose. pix will folllow.

Disc Brake progress

Now is the bracket(for the caliper) making process.
Equipped with limited tools I can see the craftsmanship the old-skool way.
No pix, sadly.
