Some update photos from the last few days..
Here are the seats with both seat covers installed:
The start of some new upper balljoint mounts to get the kingpin inclination proper:
Modified knuckle (hacked off the upper eyelet from the top)
Here are the finished upper balljoint mounts:
A completed upper A arm in place. NOte that the frame side is not welded yet.. just mocked up in place.
The upper A arm allows full adjustment of both castor and camber without removing the arm (just unbolt the clevis and spin the long side to adjust camber, reattach clevis and spin short side to adjust castor.
Closeup of the clevis assembly. Note that the bolt in place is just for mockup. didnt have a 3/8" bolt handy.
Also got the nosecone cut to fit my chassis. I'm going to have it sit slightly forwards so that it'll clear the engine.
The passenger side w/o wheel. You can see how the balljoint assembly secures to the brake caliper ear. The short bolt in the caliper ear is just for mockup.
