And what i accomplished today. The upper control arm mounts. They are 1/2" plate with 6" on center 1/2" holes and are set parallel to each other rather than aimed in like the frame so any alignment adjustments can be done with various shims. I forgot to buy the mounts that Allstar sells and the shop is an hour away so a few minutes with the band saw and the mill and a lot of oil I had some made.

Tomorrow I will try to get the lower control arms mounted but i only have class till noon so it may not happen but definitely by early next week. Then I'll post some pics. Then i can measure up for a rack and pinion and some coil overs.
