Re: 55 make over

next move was the front pocket area. i basically built a set like the rear to help maybe make things look more evened out and to calm my OCD. so instead of a balky back and a skinny front, figured i'd make them match. went ahead removed all the bondo they had stacked along the top rail. we did a little metal work where they had filled in the pockets and then built up bondo to hide it. now it won't require their average 1/4" of filler.

stripped down the frame to bare bones. removed the old 4 link after noticing how far down the front brackets were. those brackets would've bottomed out before the desired drop. next mocked in the notches and bought a universal 4 link setup from the boys down the road in Choctaw, Ok...Phat Phabz...great group of guys!
