a close up of the upper links. I ran the bracing from frame rail to frame rail. Additionally the horizontal bars are spot welding on the inside as well as supported by 1/8" plate.

Here are some pics of how I did the lower links. I didnt want them to hang below the car because it will be pretty low and the intent is to use this as an autoX driver. For those wondering, I left all of the leaf spring mounting locations in place "just in case".

as you can see, I cut into the frame. I used 2 grade 8 nuts welded together.

I tried to blend it into the body. the intent was to make it look more like an original component of the car.

Here are some pictures of the shock cross member. The original is not designed to support the weight of the car, thus the shocks would eventually come through the truck.

thanks. I am working on the rear brakes now. I am looking at coating the bottom with product from Monstaliner, it is a satin black product that is supposed to encapsulate the metal.

it looks like you have a killer project on your hands as well. You Challenger looks great in your signature (I am assuming it is your car).
