Panhard is done, frame mount is done, axle mount is partially in. Need to weld the top and bottom joints as well as add a gusset toward the center.
Adjustment hardware is grade 8 1/2 fine thread.
Body mount is 1/8" plate, axle mount is 1"x1/8" square tubing.
Bearing in mind this is all likely temporary, I think it's coming along nicely.
Interested in feedback on the structure of the frame mount as well as whether to add top /bottom gussets to the axle mount.
The body mount was a pain in the butt to form in my vice, and didn't come out square initially. I think I'd have been better off making it from segments of plate welded together instead of steel origami.
And I messed up the panhard, cut it too short and had to run to the hardware store for a longer bolt. Ugh.
Still, the rear suspension is about done.
What's next? Thinking floor, tunnel, firewall, trans mount. More metal work, hooray.
Then wiring, headers, brakes, fuel system, driveline. Hey! Almost done!
Attached pics of the body mount, axle mount, and full compression, full droop.
