Well, here are a few pics of what I have so far, some parts just tacked on... The swing arm is pretty beat up pealing paint and rust, but I'm gonna get it all sanded down and painted once I'm done. It was my spare that I had out in the shed, got it free with the buggy.
You can see in one of the pics my solution to the caliper screws... I just put them in and welded the frame around them, I can still get to them because I don't plan on putting a top on the box.
Also in one of the pics my solution for the short hangers was to just carve a slot out in my tubing, it shouldn't effect the integrity of it and I can get a socket around it or something in there to hold it while I tighten down the bolts. If I really wanted to get fancy I could have got some 5/16" threaded couplers and welded them in there, and then I would only have to worry about screwing it from the outside (still in the back of my mind).
Oh yeah, my welding is sub par! lol I do good sometimes but sometimes things just don't come out pretty, plus that flux core stuff leaves a lot to be cleaned up! nothing a simple wire wheel and my drill can't fix, As long as the welds hold I don't care.
