Here is how I plan on mounting my coil overs to the lower links. And its also a good shot of my sway bar location which is also the upper mount for the coil overs.

Like the front panhard mount something different
Nice welds makes me wish I'd done more of mine with tig

Thanks Tin Basher!

TIG welding everything really makes joint fitment/prep. #1 priority which is a good thing. Welding up a full chassis can be tricky with a foot pedal, so I use hand controls when I do projects like this. I can speed up or slow down and use more or less filler instead of using the pedal to control my amperage.

Update!

Awesome work... are you going to blast and powder the frame?

 

[Chilkat]

Maybe powder coating in the future after I see how everything works together. I'm in a pretty dry climate so I have some time. It would not be optimal to have or want to change some things around after a fresh powder coat, but it would be nice in the end.

Update! I have basically finished the wiring harness for the engine. I took everything apart and soldered all connections one at a time and wired in the constant duty cycle solenoid for the Taurus radiator fan as well. The limit straps are installed along with the RAdesigns shifters which work awesome so far! Hers some progress Pics .

Both shifters mounted where I could reach quickly


Limit straps to lower link


More coming! If I get a chance this week I will try and get the shocks charged and put it at ride height. Then its rear driveline, a seat mount, seat belts and skid plates..

Been a while! Turbo is on along with some body panels.
Went out to Cline Butte OHV and took some footage.
