welll I got a few things done today, I got the frame cut for the notch and the notch welded in, I still have to cut the middle out, but I want to cut the frame width down and plate the sides first, and I tacked in a bar for my shock mounts, also tried out my bro's new plasma and cut some link tabs, they're going to need some work....

I'm planning on doing a trangulated 4-link with adjustable uppers....depends on how much room I have I guess, and my attachment points.

Coming along very nice. Ok I have idea what that astro part is... Looks like a half shaft if some sort but that is just a wild guess
