After a long winter, I finally got the front end up underneath the car and rolled it out of the garage! Still in the trial fitting stage, but wanted to show how where the project currently stands. BIG thanks to Laverne (SB412DUSTER) for building the K frame, the lower BJ steering arms, lower conrol arms, and modified the factory LCA pivot pins. I will be bugging him a little more about positioning the rack tie rods with the steering arms. Have not got the shocks yet, he will be supplying those as well.

Side shot. I like the stance so far.

And a shot that the brand X cars will see! Still have a long road ahead of me and I have most of the parts to keep working on it, but it is the little things to finish it up that always add up to a lot of coin before it is all said and done.

Very nice.
My deal is not quite that involved , but maybe you will be able to answer this one.
How to you measure the job ?
By progress made , or things left to do ?
I can't decide if I am just getting started , or half ways done.
The workmanship looks to be top notch on your job.

The nicest work is on the fron. Had I met Laverne sooner and he was a it closer, I would have taken the whole car to him to do from scratch. I had some request for some close up shots of the lower control arms, so here they are.
