Rusty & crusty -

some wire wheel action & marking out the cuts

Plasma cutting time (after welding on a brace)

Lots of test fitting & grinding to get everything lined up

Back together it goes - nothing fancy, just a 1 1/2" drop now

Is the point to allow raising the mounting of the cross member and suspension relative to the frame/body?
Great build thread BTW!
