    I just noticed in the first frame picture that your rear coilover brackets are in place yet. You aren't planning on using those self tapping bolts that TP supplies, are you? This is one area where I really disagree with Mickey......he swears they work fine, but they are only going into 1/8 inch wall tubing. There have been reports on other forums of them coming loose, and I don't see how they could not.

    PLEASE consider welding them in place, even if you just run a bead up the side after the bolts are in place. We not only welded the coilover brackets, but the crossmembers too, and our frame is 3/16, but we still didn't trust them.

    Not trying to tell you how to build your rod, but PLEASE make this one alteration.
