Well after being at the shop all weekend, i have...(drumroll please....)...one corner of suspension done. thats three less than i was planning on having done. oh well. the left rear suspension is completely welded up and kind of assembled. its held on with tie rod ends and weld in threaded bungs from the unbuilt wishbones, buts its attached to the car! i moved it through its paces and it looks great. i still have to weld on the pushrod attachment, but the hard geometry part is done. its starting to look more and more like a car!
i ordered the front upper ball joints and they will be here tuesday. my coilovers should be coming late this week or early next week, so HOPEFULLY (no promises) the car will be sitting on its own feet in two weeks
here's pics
(the soda can demonstrates full bump [the car would be bottoming out] and the wood demonstrates normal ride height)
total fab time: i finally lost count. 55+ hours for sure

Have you done any more work on the rear diff? I thought the idea of using a car's diff and bolting on a sprocket to the carrier was a great one, I'm interested to see how it turns out.
Any thoughts on reverse for the car?
