The snubber brackets are not mounted in the same place on the frame rail so Brian removed them so we could install the cradle for the TCP rear suspension.





Cradle bolted and welded in place

The cradle is supposed to bolt to the pinnon snubber mount but there was no holes and it was off center a little.



Brian welded a bracket



Brian decided to improving the welding a little







They welded the other side

The deck lid fit great but the doors, fenders and hood are another story.

Once the fender apron holes were modified to get the fender back so there was not a large gap at the windshield and front of the hood there was not enough gap at the door.



The hood is to wide at the back and will need to be trimmed

The left vent window would not fit so Brian had to drill out the spot welds and bend the sheetmetal a little to allow the vent window to go in.



The bracket on the inside of the door where the bottom of the vent window attaches was in the wrong place and had to be moved
