You definitely have the 'touch' for fabbing. I like it!

FnLow69 · 10-25-2010, 01:42 AM

Well i worked on it last night and today. Got the other tie rod notch done and the welded and smoothed. All the joints will get plated later. Today I got the front crossmember in and made the upper A-arm mounts still need to make some gussets for them.

Anyways here are the pictures...

Crossmember tacked in...

Lower arm bolted up...

The upper arm mounts...(forgot to take progression shots)

Spindles and rotors on...

What do you think?
