Hey Gary,
Yea, I had most of the original brackets laser cut by a shop in Grand Rapids. I just don't have the time to wait for quotes, fab time and delivery dates. It takes time to do this but my time is cheap and the brackets will be ready to weld to the housing Sunday. I still have to make the frame and panhard bar brackets but I won't do that until I have the housing back in the shop so I can verify locations.

Got all of the housing brackets cleaned up, radiused and beveled tonight.
These are two of the upper bar brackets.

The lower right hand bar and shock bracket mocked up with the matching inner bracket.

Tomorrow I will work on the gussets and go to a car show here in Byron...
Thanks for looking
Mark
