Then made my own torque arm mount due to the old one pushing my rearend off center.
Did you weld in the control arm boxes yourself?
If so how was the install?
Did you have to pull the carpet?
Looks great btw.

Thanks! Thats the difference between the love for building cars and others who do it for the internet clout then sell it a few years later.

Yea I did all the work besides weld the wishbone. They are pretty easy to do honestly. Tig welding them in gets a little tricky at times but if you mig them in, it'll be a breeze!
