The new adjusters I ordered showed up yesterday so I decided to weld the front beam back together today! I started by making a set of sleeves out of an old chain-link fence post. The diameter was almost right so all I had to do was cut a slit and make it just a little larger. The seam is in the back so you can't see it in this picture.
The beam it self is all welded up. I still have to locate and attach the steering stop and the dampener bracket. I'll have to set the body on the floor pan first so I can make sure I locate the steering box correctly. Then I need to shorten the torsion bars and tie rods.
