I think im done with the front. Was going to cut more out but not really worth it for a few more pounds. If I can find the money I'm going to get some light weight spindles. I hope to get some parts soon!!!!!

Thanks to Steve and Chuck @ Burkhart Chassis!!! I can't be more pleased with their service and quality of work! I still have a few more parts to get and the chassis will be done... Studderin there are no gussets on the inside of the shock mounts but the tie in to the lca brackets and they are made of thick steel. Thanks
