well since i know how much to cut i just used my vice to hold them in place and bent them with my hands and after i made sure they were both even i welded them from bottom and top...

luifer76 · 01-11-2013, 11:16 PM

in the next couple days the plan is start putting the tierod ends together and after that start painting all the suspension components and engine compartment and also the front part of of the frame...

luifer76 · 01-12-2013, 09:13 PM

ok so here we go again i feel like a damn crab going backwards lol.... i got my tierod ends all put together i used the same sleeve since there is nothing wrong it and i started to paint the frame inside the engine compartment and the Xmember but because all the damn oil and grease that xmember had and because the frame and xmember are gonna be diff colors there was no way to paint it without making a mess and i know i wouldnt be happy with the results so i decide it to take the Xmember off and all the steering parts this is gonna set me back a little bit

but i think ill be happier with the results here are some pics....

luifer76 · 01-12-2013, 09:14 PM

i washed it with degreaser and the high pressure hose and i took the grinder with a wie brush to it and got it all cleaned up....
