Seems like a lot of work when it doesn't even have a proper roof rack yet 
In all seriousness....Good work! This is awesome.

Thanks for the kind words. This has been kicking my ass. Someone please talk some sense into me next time!
I broke all of my drill bits trying to do things they weren't supposed to do, but the steering box is in place. I still need to sleeve one hole.
I'm going to run tie rod ends at all four ends. I will extend my HD drag link to connect the steering box to the steering arm at the knuckle. I will keep the stock tie rod to act as a fusible link if something needs to let go and just carry a spare.
Now that the box is in place, I can locate the panhard mount, which centers in the steering box holes.
Since the 60 frame is wider, I will sleeve the brace to extend it the extra inch. I can use the same sleeve tubing to adjust the panhard, if necessary.
The box is very close to where it would be in an 80, maybe 1/4" off. I should retain all of the factory geometry.

I don't think so. I haven't tried to fit it yet though. It should have more clearance than before.

Man, I do constant work with the guy and he never sponsored me.
Those welding shorts are on point.

If the 35's fit, probably. That's not really in the budget though.

What budget? I thought you married a rich woman?
Pretty sure that was you I saw in Memphis over the Christmas holidays? Cruiser looked great!
