the front section adjusted perfectly to stay inline with the forward frame.

this is a look from behind to show the slight angle change to meet with the forward frame section. might be hard to see.

just in case someone wanted to know the parking brake cable holes location/measurements.
Don't laugh at my chicken scratch

Holes are both 1/2" by 4"
and both are 1" from the bottom.

Out side hole (measured from the forward most end of the sub frame connector) starts at 4" and the inside starts at 16".

Pay Pal gladly accepted

i will be attempting the passenger side weld in tomorrow.

P.S. The sprinkler guy never showed again. Said they would be here this morning to finish the job. Only thing left to do is back fill, install the heads and adjust them, may be 3 hours work!

The Metal chrome Mopar Performance steel valve covers clear nicely Because of the tapered edges. Our valve cover goes on and off easy.





Does it clear the A/C blower motor?
I understand that the Heater only setup is smaller and at a slightly different position. I do eventually want to use the A/C.

Just a little FIY, you can put multiple pics and text in one post........ might be easier. Just a thought. Looks good so far. So you were saying that the ball joint was actually in upside down.

Thanks, I'll have to learn how to post multiple pictures on the same post.
Any easy lesson you would like to share with a computer illiterate?

Does anyone know what this little tab is for? Its on the rear section of the frame connectors, both inside and outside, left and right.
My luck, it will be something important!

I guess I'm on my own. Other than some consultation from my brother, no one has chimed in. I am a bit nervous and don't want to screw things up.

I have to remind myself that its my car and I can fix it if I do screw it up.

The Car was preserved perfectly from day one with I think Zebart Rustproofing. I love the results of the protection, I bet they used 50.lbs of tar undercoating.
Chipping it off is about to kick my rear! I'm feeling my years quite clearly.

Here are some proposed cut lines. I am going to think it over a bit. I already cut the trunk hinge brackets off the insides of the tubs and I drilled out the spot welds for the diagonal braces.
