I got the upper link chassis mount designed and built just need to weld her together.I put lots of adjustment into this piece,Ive read thats a good idea to be able to dial in youre suspension.

It needed to be mounts away from the fram so I put in a 1" spacer and milled in a pocket so you can get at the nuts for the link mount bolts.I chamfered off all the to be welded edges for some nice penetration.:awesomework:

You're dissapointed that no one else has said anything, it's because I have a hard time keeping my jaw off the keyboard long enough to type. That is one heluva front end!
 
:awesomework: Yeah, no ****. It's hard to type when your keyboard is covered in drool. :haha: Simply amazing work. By all means, keep taking your time, this thing is turning out sweet. :cool:
