so tonight I'm bummed.
Set the pinion angle, welded the drivers perch in and found out the perch is a good half inch taller. Right know i really want to cut it out and get Dan to send me the right perch

. Thats about four hours of cutting and grinding and resetting everything that I don't want to waste. my other thought is to just cut some .5" plate and weld it to the drivers side plate.
Only good thing is I got my Marlin Crawler shock hoop in on the drivers side

. Had so straddle the steering box. With a 14" shock I have about 3.5"s of rod showing. no pics
