Re: 55 make over
once i double checked distances, pinion, etc...(about 100 x's) it was time to make it official. this first pic is my favorite part of the build no matter what! this is my oldest son and he knows how to weld (school 3yrs for welding and now works as a full time welder last 3yrs). it was a proud poppa moment for sure! so once he got those things tied in i was able to check fitments, drop, etc...
then i moved up to the front. removed the lower A-arms to flat plate and removed the old coil over setup for my own setup. tacked it all in and went through another 100 x's of checking. then had my son come in and work his magic and make it all solid. i did have to remove the small notch they did for the steering arm because of the amount of drop we are going to. so we removed it and put a piece of 2x3 3/16 wall in place and it has plenty of area. i will come back and work on the sway bar setup and shocks next.
