Well haven't updated due to me forgetting the camera, but I've been working on mainly figuring out my front suspension I wanted to make it perfect at ride height, and finally after moving everything upwards, motor 1.5" up i got my arms at 2* LCA and the uppers at 6* this is set at 5.5" ride height. Tire will sit right at the lip of the front tires.
So with that figured out, I started the front crossmember crazy cuts to make it fit http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0587.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0588.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0589.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0597.jpg Made sure the tierods would be clear, at full turn they hit so I will make a small round notch http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0600.jpg |

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0636.jpg and some more pictures... Check out this, the body bout doesn't have much room to weld to so I could do a plate angle up on one side and the other going down, but I hate that look http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0537.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0538.jpg so why not make it look factory http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0540.jpg all done.... :crazy: |

Welded up and smoothed out, the 2" hole will be drilled later

had a few extra hands...
http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...to/methree.jpg haha not, I wish though. So I continued with that crossmember, made stock styled rack mounts. http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0641.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0651.jpg Going to cut down some of the excess on the opposite side http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0655.jpg Beveled edges and a nice solid bead http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0658.jpg |
Back on the frame
http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0660.jpg Temporary bolts holding it in place http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0662.jpg Lower control arm mounts, I was going to have them laser cut, but seemed like a waste of money and time for what I will need http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0671.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0672.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0677.jpg |
http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0676.jpg
started the second crossmember (under the oilpan) http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0692.jpg this is going to mount the back of the LCA and then the motor mounts ontop, the middle of the crossmember will be bolted in similar to factory setup. http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0694.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0695.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3...o/HPIM0696.jpg |
