rear radius rods

I have split and spread the rear radius rods and mounted the ends ( using ball joints ) to the frame. The rear suspension is mow finished. Now I will fabricate the front and rear shock absorber mounting brackets. I need to research the possibilities and decide what approach to take. I believe the front mounts will be pretty straight forward, but the rear could be more difficult. How hard can it be? I guess I'll soon find out!! It feels good to be working on the project after such a long break. Hope to see some real progress in the next few months........

rear radius rods

I know.....it's been a LONG time (February) since my last update......I bought a motor home last March and have totally ignored the hot rod , but that's about to change. Recently returned from 5 weeks travel to the western states and now hope to spend lots of time on the project. First on the agenda, I will finish the rear suspension by mounting the rear radius rods and fabricating the rear shock mounts. the body will then be positioned and permanently mounted. I will include pictures in the upcoming updates. Feels good to be back on the project............wish me luck!!!
