I see you shortened the spindle itself to fit those ball joints in. I was wondering why it looked a bit off. The front end definitely looks a lot batter with the bulkhead back in its proper location.
Ya I guess having light to see the front tires is good in some way, but the placement I first had focused way too much light on the front end and I wasn't really able to see much ahead.

I cut off the stock metal tabs on the control arms. This is what I did:

I cut from there and welded the ball joint with the tab straight on there.
