Ozark too bad we don't live closer to each other, a extra pair of hands would be nice. Have you come up with what you are going to do about steering? I just painted my frame, shackles, and spring plates today and got the springs mounted. I used Hammerite, that stuff is awsome. Goes on easy and looks good. Good luck and keep the pics coming.

my axle luckily had the flat topped knuckels, so my plan is to machine some 1 inch bar stock for above the kncukle steering.

I might end up buying the arms from PM or someone else, it just depends on whethere I have more time or $$ at that point!
whats your plan?

an easier way to make the outboard hangers is to use channel iron. i notched it for the frame and then cut the ouside at an angle so what i end up with looks like yours but it is all one piece. iow less work and the channel i used was very thick. your do look fine though.

thats probably a good idea High5, BUT since I was flying blind I used scraps from the shop floor, and toted them to and from my locker at work at lunch to weld them up ( and now they all need sandblasting AGAIN from living in the back of my truck)

there are a few things I would do if I was starting over.
one is start with a chevy front end, and a YJ frame.

but then HEY, what would have done for this much fun?
