I mocked up the front suspension to check for fit. I thought it looked interesting. The wheel base looks so wide next to the narrowed chassis but its the stock wheelbase width. Today I'll do the heim conversion and zerks on the a-arms then the front will be about 95% finished.
Grind ,weld ,grind ,weld! Since you dont have the floorpan installed yet ... you can weld tabs to the frame and bolt an Alum pan in that would be lighter and replaceable. Im going to do that on my Dazon rebuild .
