Again - using the laser to locate brackets. Some of the stuff that you may noticed needs to be final welded in the pics is because I'm going to wait and final weld it when it's upside down on the rotisserie (call me lazy!)
A lot of times, I'm working by myself and I also don't have the factory front leaf spring perches to locate the front link bracket from, I decided to fixture them up at the correct width and weld them to a piece of tubing (easier for me to hold in place. I also used the frame spec dimensions to measure from the rear spring shackle location to where the front mount should be. Just for good measure, Dad and I checked dimension on his stock '67. (yeah, that has been handy from time to time)
Once everything was tacked into place, I wanted to bolt the rear housing in to satisfy my worries that everything was located properly. It was almost dead square and if I remember correctly within a 1/4 side to side (minor panhard adjustment) with the links set right out of the box. I was happy enough with that and proceeded to weld everything in solid. I moved around a lot and kept checking measurements to make sure nothing moved.
