[QUOTE="the_white_shadow, post: 641228, member: 10112"] Im back offshore in Ghana for 3-4 more weeks and am bored so id figure i would post up where i left off. I added gussets to everything i thought was necessary and got started to get the chassis ready to some paint. And of course i then had to go back offshore. Anywho, i ran in to a problem while adding gussets. I mocked everything up with short bolts and when it came time to use the right bolts for the links, they were too long. So this was my solution. A frenched piece of 1.75" dom half tube. bolt now goes in as its supposed to. NOTE: Always plan ahead.

I want the orbital outside of the firewall since i always seem to end up hydraulic leaks and to have that between my legs left me with a not so good feeling. to be continued.... [/QUOTE]
