I also finally dragged the welder over and welded the rear shock mounts. i should get some limit straps soon for the rear. once i have them i can mount the tabs and paint all this.
weld pics....
i also sketched this flare press tool and had a buddy burn it out on the cnc. the punch is 4140
it makes a 37* tube flare on 1" .065" wall SS sanitary tube.
all made up and threaded on a #16 adapter. i have a cart-full of sanitary ells and some more tube to make up what will end up being the oil pick up tube, when i get to there...
