Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II
Well Got the housing cleaned up and the leaf spring mounts removed, and got the axle set in place. Had to switch back to my old 3-link wishbone setup since there wasnt enought room for the parrallel 4-bar. So i got both the lowers tacked in.
Heres the pictures... ![]() ![]() Lower mounts (nut is welded on the back of the tab) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Cut the gusset out of the upper wishbone because the metal i used for it was pitted. Thinking of chroming the link bars.... ![]() Thanks Justin

Heres the Pictures... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What do you think? Justin
