I didn't take any pics this weekend..... Remember I was busy stripping paint while you were doing all the cutting and grinding...LOL....
Oh by the way..... I see why it was taking so long to cut out the metal (becides the fact I don't have a plasma yet).... There will be a metal cutting 101 next time your over...LMAO

What the hell did I miss? I know on the inside of the frame there was a lip of some sort. Maybe cutting thru both sections made it not right? Dont know...will check it out though.

Put the suspension thru some cycles this evening.... here it is with the crossmember only about 3/4" off the floor.   The upper ball joint is maxed out.... so it's not going any lower without changing the UCA's |

Well.... I go the frame welded tonight..... but I'm kind of pissed at myself.... If you look in the pictures I had two lines. The lower of the two was my original mark and the top was the second. Well dumb ol' me lined everything up with the original mark.... so It looks as if the "Z" is going to only be 1.5" instead of 2"....  |
