I don't see any dinosaurs in the background?

So after my Amazon debacle, and a lot of additional research, I have decided to get a triangulated 4 link kit from Welder Series. This looks to be a good quality kit, and a legitimate business. I sent him an email inquiring about it, and received a response within 24 hours. He took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. One thing I do like is good customer service. Here is a link to his web site, and a picture of the set up.

It just showed up today! All the way from ON, Canada... All of the components are very good quality. Packaged well, all parts there and accounted for. This guy is a happy camper!

This may hold the forum record for longest thread. But, now I’m addicted. Worth the scrolling.

I have tacked up the four link rods for mock up. Trying to decide on MIG welding them myself and having them professionally TIG welded. I mean, it's only holding the entire rear end of the vehicle on... what could possibly happen?! The Studebaker is very clos to being put into the shop. Still clearing space and re-arranging things. Temps are finally starting to come up into the 60's. We turned the drip irrigation on, so Spring must be here!

The Studebaker has finally made it's way into my shop for the first time. I am glad to have it out of the elements.
