The front was a little more work as I also wanted to to tie the bridge to the tubes.

| Re: The old girl is wore out--time for a change.
So I got the A-C pillars made.. The multiple angle/bend pieces are always the toughest ones. Its finally taking some shape at this point... |

| Re: The old girl is wore out--time for a change.
Time to get the axles set to full compression to the chassis. This will determine ride height with 5-6" of shock shaft showing.. I am shooting for a 20" belly clearance. Started with the rear. |

| Re: The old girl is wore out--time for a change.
Was time to get the front shock mounts built. I made a jig to get everything square.. Those who know me know how extremely picky and anal I am. If something is a 1/2 degree off thats too far out for me..
