[QUOTE="TB-F, post: 1079386, member: 16115"] Hey! I'm back with progress after a 1 month hiatus. Last I had developed some fine non-functonable rear shock mounts and suffred a case of fab burnout. But now I'm back with progress. So the rear shock mounts needed to be changed due to masive shock-to-bolt interfernce. Fortunatly I was just tacking everything together so removing the old mounts was a breeze. I came up with a new design that pushes the shocks up about 2.5 inches and in a inch, I also added some speed holes so it didnt look so plain and it will go faster. No more hiting the bolts :cheer: [IMG]http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i63/TB-F/100_0976.jpg[/IMG] Inside view of new rear brackets [IMG]http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i63/TB-F/100_0977.jpg[/IMG] Next I needed a way to make upper shock mounts. I wanted to bend a 180deg hoop and atatch the shocks to that but after holding my 180 mockup piece up for a few hours I decided I hated it. I ended up with a bent tube that spans the rear tubes, now the problem with this is the tube is 1.5" wide, and the shock with spacers is 2.5" wide. Lucky me I just got a new job where I have acess to a press break so I made...
