Here's todays work, Finished cutting the crossmembers and mounts off, slid the toyota truck axle under it, and mounted the torsen arms. First problem, the arms where directly under the frame! only about 1-2" of up travel. HMMM so I am out boarding the Johnny joint ends of the torsen bars. They arms sit outside the frame and after trimming the front of the body mounts it will twist up to within 4" of the frame where
the springs are going. I am using stock rears all the way around..
Here's pics-

and it cut through. )
