Re: lower control arm modification

When i started to work on mine, I just used all the pics off the forum here as reference. I got some sched 40 pipe in 8" diameter and cut some 3" long sections. Then i welded 3/8" plate to the bottom to make the cup. I then used pics as reference to find out where to position the cup on the arm....

None of these pics are mine. They are all ones i saved for research.
