Looks great guys. Keep up the good work! did the frame z let the body lay or does it have a body drop?

the z and  2- link with notches and bridge has it laying on the pinch welds. the notches were integrated   into the back half unibody frame a foot toard the front and back of the van

nice ride. good name for it too, it fits well with those gullwings and people climbing into the back

In all actuality they arent to terrible to work on I dont think, the best thing to do front suspension wise is get your wheels and tires bolted up and do every thing you need to make it lay first. i.e. spindles, control arms in some cases, then notch and 4 link the rear like you would a truck, theres alot of room under these things, notch it to where the rear of the body in front of the rear wheel lays on pavement, then take careful measurements for the Z, with an astro you have the luxury of unbolting the front subframe, and zing  it that way, which i would highly reccomend.
