Front Suspension

This weekend I was able to get the torsion leaves and the tie-rods cut to length. The picture to the left is the short tie-rod with a threaded rod welded into one half. This will add strength to the tie-rod as well as make welding it back together easier. The clamps have also been removed for cleaning and paint.

Here is the short tie-rod welded back together with the cleaned ends in place. The long tie-rod has been cut, cleaned and welded back together as well but the ends still need cleaned up. The last thing that needs to be done before I can paint everything is to notch the shock towers so the front clip will clear when the body goes back on.
