This is the cross brace on the bumper rails. I'm really happy how it turned out, and I think it's going to be just fine.

I started wire wheeling the rear axle housing today to get ready for paint. I'm collecting parts for it as well. It has the 12"x2" drums that I was afraid were going to be elusive, but I found them on RockAuto. Also got shoes, wheel cylinders, hub seals and axle seals. I haven't been able to round up new brake hardware, I'm hoping I can but if I can't I did save the originals. I think.

Onward we go.
