Default Custom Fabrication

So in the coming weeks I'm building a removable engine cage, a rear track bar (gonna be a 5 link at that point), and relocating my shocks to the rear of the axle with 4 separate shock mounts.
I'm planning on documenting most of it in video, just wondering if anyone would be interested in the specs and if I should document that stuff so everyone can access it.

IMO, any build should be documented in full detail for the benefit of future interest.

Agreed. Coming from a pharmaceutical world, if it's not documented, it did not happen.

Some of my previous builds have been heavily criticized lol, this is why I just wanted to test waters first.

I love custom builds mainly because I can learn from the work and/or mistakes of others.

If you post progress of each step, another set of eyes can help spot potential pitfalls. That's something I'm big on working as a software developer because I always seek out review of my work. Sometimes I have to defend it via explanation while other times I wonder "what in the blue blazes was I thinking?".
