Default control arms I made

Since my chevelle is temporarily out of action. I decided to go ahead and make some control arms.

I used some DOM tubing, some box, a couple heims and a couple johnny joints, all and all I think it came out pretty good. I cant wait to get it on the road and test them out.

Looks nice. When is your car going to be back on the road from your little accident?

Technically this isnt from the "accident" this is just preventative maintenance down time, got tired of breaking stuff on that 10 bolt and built the stock 12 it had in it before. Break in time starts tomorrow actually once I get the axle in

Johnny's are the BEEF
