Re: My 86 build
Woohoo...progress! I had a day off, so I went to work on my lower link bars. I cut all the tubing for the bushings and bars, and welded them up.....GREAT SUCCESS!

Re: My 86 build
I managed to get my upper link bars cut and welded up today, made my own adjustable rod ends. I think they turned out pretty good.

Re: My 86 build
