Stepped control arms
I've got one of my control arms stepped 1-1/2". This is my first attempt at real fabrication and modification. I don't think this sucker is ever going to come apart. I used 1/4" steel plate for all the gussets and pieces. Everything went very smoothly and I'm confident that I did a good job. Now I just have to make the other one match, paint them, press in new ball joints, and I can put the front of my '64 back together and see how she sits with the 1-1/2" LCAs and 3" springs.
Oh and if you're wondering why I didn't just use drop spindles its because I'm an 18 year old kid with a tiny budget that can't afford a disk brake swap, let alone new spindles. But I do, however, have a welder and a nice workshop(thanks dad) and a lot of ambition!
