98layinframe, Thats cool. At least you can collect parts while you are not working on it.
Today I made the lower coil over brackets support that mounts to the factory shock mount. Took a piece of 2" box tube and cut it to size and then welded a 5/8 nut to it. Then tacked it in place. I will make caps for the ends also. I will finish welding it when I pull everything apart to prime it. Next was to saw and drill the fuel and brake line mounts, they a 1"diameter slugs with a 1/4-28 hole for a button head bolt to hold the rubber covered clamps. Then I boxed out the frame mounted 4 bar brackets and ground them all up. It gave them more of a finished look. Then I coped some tubing for the lower part of the tranmission cross member and I had seen that the upper one that goes across the frame was going to hit the drive shaft. So I bent up a curved one. So now I can cut out that one now. I am going the order SST braided brake hoses so I can mount the tabs and spray primer on it soon.
