mind taking a few closer pics of the work on your uppers? I've got some spindles I want to trade for arms (to build some myself) and am looking for ideas.

What do you need close ups of? Basically I took some 11 gauge 2" flat stock and bent it to the shape of my template. Then I cut some tubing to cover the stock bushings. Then I welded the outside piece to the outside of the arm and tubing. Then I used the inner pieces to trace out the cut, and cut it out to weld the inner piece in.

I can get some more after I finish them. It would of been a lot easier to use tubing instead of this way.


We'll I'm between jobs about to start my new one so I double checked my savings. I have to hold of on buying parts just yet so no junkyard trip for me

I just about have enough for the rack, it looks like I'll be buying the shortened rack from flaming river. I also have some pics of a rendering KID BROOTAL designs is working on for me. It's still in progress but here are some teasers.
