After figuring out the pivot points I started on the sleeves for the ball joints.

I found some nice steel screw in style sleeves for the upper arms at the local speed shop.
As I wanted stainless finish, I welded some schedule 80 pipe around the sleeves to weld the arm to.








For the lowers, I got stock Cobra ball joints.
These were a little trickier as they are press in
I used two pieces of schedule 80 pipe for these. I had to cut a sliver out and reweld to the correct size to fit the balljoint. The weld seams ended up under the connection point of the arm to the sleeve to lock everything up for sure.





The pic below shows the fit of the ball joint after it was pressed out.
