Before: ![]() some of the parts:: ![]() First I striped out all the old suspension and set in the new 5 inch wider beams:: ![]() ![]() Set in the engine cage:: ![]() ![]() ![]() Alot wider: ![]() He was pretty excited about the new radius arms: ![]() Then we set in the new Tranny X-member: ![]() ![]() Not too bad for the first night I think.

That's a really sweet setup. Where do you go about getting parts like that?
I've never had a project go bad with a big jug of Mountain Dew on hand!

Get rid of those junk carriage bolts, they're worthless. Get some grade 8 fine thread fasteners, use a washer on both sides and either a nylock or mechanical locking nut.
I think there should be an additional gusset in the center of that plate to wrap around the tube as well, but it may be fine without.
