Re: My 86 build
....I picked up some square tube today, 2"x4" for my notch, and 2"x2" for lower link bars, and 2" round tube for bushings. I got two 8' lengths and a 2' length for $110. I'm waiting on my rod ends to come in before I get tubing for the uppers. hope to get started building something tomorrow!

Re: My 86 build
I have two of these tires on order instead of the Goodyears, the Mickey's are $100 cheaper per tire, more sizes to choose from, and way cooler. 28x12x18.

Woohoo...progress! I had a day off, so I went to work on my lower link bars. I cut all the tubing for the bushings and bars, and welded them up.....GREAT SUCCESS!
