Thank you. I actually don't think they look that good especially comparing them to the beautiful welds from the factory on the front brackets.

I went out to put together the rest of the front suspension and found that I wasn't quite done and shouldn't have painted it yet. The holes in the crossmember that the lower A-arm bolt goes through needs to be enlarged to 5/8" (kinda makes you wonder why it's not 5/8" already???). Then there are a couple of spacers and a gusset that need to be welded into the gap of the crossmember for the bolt to pass through so that the whole thing is rigid when you tighten the lower bolt. So.... looks like I have to grind a little paint off and get all of that done before I can finish the front suspension assembly. My hope is to get all of that done this weekend.
