Looking good Jeff, I bet you can't wait to get it back on the ground with the new rims!

Finally got my bars back. They are about 34"s long, 1" round bar of 4340. I had to do my machining first, threaded the ends and drilled the holes for the grub screws. Sent them over to Ark. and had them cooked to about 40 Rockwell.

Thanks, and thanks!
The floor is just stained concrete with three coats of resin, a very long and painful story. In fact, I could probably write a book about building this new crib but you would get so frustrated by the first chapter that you would throw it away .

Those control arms look awesome. I can't wait to see more updates.

I didnt think it would be possible to weld to the control arms, I was under the impression that they were cast parts??
