Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"

making upper bag mounts
using the over axle pads i was intending to use but had a slight change in plan.
so im creating my own way

i know my lower bag mounts look weak but i still have to finish boxing in the rear of the trailing arms where the gusset will run off to beef up the plate

the last pic im starting my axle bracket for the panhard bar.
panhard will be mounted over the rear diff

later will be adjustable

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"

Not to mug progress this weekend although I did get my rebuild kit for my tranny so I look forward to putting that back in this week

I started playing in my lower bag mounts and ran out of wire for my welder
I guess I should start checking it more often lol


This was the longest weld when I ran out of wire :/
