Lol, I haven't touched it in over a week. I got the 4 upper control arm indentions in the frame plated over and got the upper coil mounts in place and I've been thinking about something ever since without wanting to proceed. I was thinking that I really need to get the knuckle Cs turned before I get the lower coil mounts welded onto the axle, cause once theyre in place you won't be able to get a grinder in there to take out the knuckle C's welds!

But thats only half the problem... the other side of it is I really need to know for sure what the ride height of the front is going to be so I'll know the exact pinion angle I need so I can set that up before the knuckle Cs get turned. And in order to be sure about the ride height of the axle, I need to get the lower coil mounts on and put weight on the front!

Its kind of a vicious circle! I'll figure something out though. I suppose worst case senerio is I get everything set up and then have to cut all my mounts off and weld new ones in at new angles later, which would suck but not be the end of the world!

Lol, I'm proud of this work though... Here is the plated frame and upper coil mounts...

Obviously, once the coil springs and track bar gets in there, things are going to change, but at least that gave me some idea of what it could be capable of!

Thanks! Yeah, its definately coming along good, just really slow. But I guess I'd much rather take my time and make sure everything is right than rush it to get done.

Lol, I about forgot I have mod powers here now... I almost edited your post rather than quoting it :P
