Re: 66 "liberation"build

I decided to raise the rear suspension instead of lowering springs. The ride just suffers too much. No Limit sells the rails to do this but this is going to stay as home brew as possible. Everything was squared and leveled before cutting. Plumb lines were scribed and out came the 4 inch grinder with a cutting wheel ( my new favorite way to cut metal). After that the rear frame was raised 4" and leveled/squared again. All joints were beveled all the way down before welding helping to insure a full weld. Because of all the pieces required to patch it all together, I opted to put in a box plate that extends 6 inches beyond the welds on both ends. The rear of the frame will get cut about 10 inches in and lowered to maintain the stock bumper location and mounting.
