Thanks man! I had to push the front axle to make it around 115". Should let my control arms clear the oil pan and upper control arm axle brackets clear the crank pully.

Just about perfect. The upper bracket needs some to be modified or I'll make a shock hoop to get the bracket in line with the shock

Some parts came in today. An electric fan and radiator. Mocking it up, not sure if I'm gonna keep the radiator, I'm thinking about exchanging it for a 4 core vise the 2 core.

Thanks for the tip, I was too late for the sale though. I'm going to keep this radiator. It should be more than enough.

Finished the passenger side set of seat brackets and tacked them in with the seat mounted.

Worked on building a core support for the radiator and brackets to bolt the fan to the core support. Started working out where my front control arms are going to go. Kinda jumping around while I figure out how I want to mount the shocks.

Cut off some square tubing from the frame that I had used setting up the new frame rails. Got my control arms setup to just about where I want them. There's not a lot of room between the frame and upper control arms. Good thing the axle is setup up at full bump right now. When I finally get the coilovers installed I'll probably move the axle bracket and make more room.

My upper frame brackets needed to be trimmed to make room for the lower bracket bolts. I took it to work and throw them on the mill.

All the control arm brackets are tacked on and I'm ready to test the flex. There is some binding because two of the brackets on the axle broke off.
I have panhard bar brackets and rod ends ordered so hopefully I can figure this out before it gets here.

The beginnings of my second attempt setting up my control arms. The frame will probably need to be notched for clearance. I'll add tubing to stiffen the frame.

Took a little break so I don't get burned out. I picked up a mill and rotary table and going to resurface and slot my rotors.

Had to modify my brackets again. Milled the old weld off to make a ledge for some new plate. That will let the bracket be in double shear instead single with gussets.
