Thanks for the reply's!
I have everything finished except, to weld the bottom shock mounts to the front lower A arms. At ride height I can fit anything from a 8" to a 13" long shock, but the more they tip over the stronger the springs, rate shocks I'll need to get, to the rate on the shocks I need.
I was wrong on what I wrote that 10" shocks sit at 17.5 degs, they are at 27degs. I don't think I want 12" shocks because they will lean to much.
I machined all the parts and 5 left & 5 right hand jigs to hold the A arm parts, so that I could weld them correctly the first time!
I also built a frame jig, everything is right on & square!!!
On my Coupe, I was going to buy a Chassis Works rear frame clip for my Coupe, (I had gotten a frame from some one had, that they change theirs out for a different one, I see why now) but now I'm going to build a complete whole new frame myself, I already have it drawn up on MasterCad, I'm building everything myself, F&R 4 link bars and mounts, Watt's link, the rear-end is already 9" shorten to 41.5" with plates.
After doing everything the right way on the Sedan frame/chassis , I know that I can redo my Coupe frame & chassis myself.
