[QUOTE="dmtfabrication, post: 369177, member: 6825"] Been busy with real life, but was able to get some stuff knocked out this weekend. Hard to stay motivated when it is well below freezing in the shop. I re-cut the front link mounts, moving the holes down 1". There was a discrepancy in the spread sheet I was using. Fortunately nothing was welded in yet. I cut out the 14B truss and pieced it together. I still need to cut the upper link mounts. The pinion angle is not staying like that and the gaps between the truss and the axle tubes have been addressed. I haven't mastered the slotted fabrication method yet, but I'm getting there.

I missed my goal by a week, but life goes on. [/QUOTE]
