My goal was to have it on the ground by the end of the month, but it might be delayed a couple of weeks. I'm hurrying but with only two hands, progress is slow.

I'm actually nervous about the car on all four wheels. This is the first time I've ever done this kind of work and I hope I did it right!

Thanks for all the kind words.

Don't be nervous. Looks like your taking care of business.

Would you please post photos of your G-link after you get it installed? I am trying to decide on a rear suspension and it's a tuff decision. Why did you choose the G-link? What would your second choice be if you did not go with the G-link?

Keep up the good work.

Can't believe I somehow missed this thread! Great work--just got caught up on almost a years worth of history. Man, you had this thing down to skin and bones---you've come a very long way in a short time and done it very well!! Great work bro! Love the choices and looking forward to watching you get it down on the ground. Get pics of the rear suspension as soon as you can!

I chose the G-Link because of it's range of adjustability. The DSE Quadralink was next on the list.

I'll have plenty of pictures when I get everything epoxy sealed. I took pictures of the brackets welded on the frame rails, but I had not ground some of the welds yet. It's got to look good!

Okay, I got the rear end epoxy primed and painted along with the subframe. I actually took the extra time to smooth the welds on the frame with All Metal filler. It's not perfect but it looks pretty sweet IMO. To make it perfect I really needed to spray it with filler primer and sand it smooth, but I had to remind myself that it's just a frame.

She goes on the rotisserie next.

I started assembling the subframe today, so I should have it all back together next week sometime. I ordered new inner and outer tie rods and an idler arm assembly that should all be here early to mid next week. Pictures to follow the completed assembly.
