Well, I got one corner of the suspension together and a freshly powder coated brake backing plate on the chassis yesterday. Tied the floor jack to the frame with tie downs and centered the kingpin support in the end of the lower A arm with 1/8 inch clearance on either side. All torqued up and soon will change the 'bobby pin' things for correct cotter pins. Hot as 'H E double hockey sticks' here these days.
Not as pretty as it all could be, but still pretty good. Scratched up the frame a little with the tie dows, but I guess that is par for the course.
Will be cool when the wheels go back on!
