Another Build Thread - My '32

[J. Robinson]

Finally, I installed the brackets onto the rear axle housing. I set them so the coilovers are tilted approximately 15 degrees from vertical. The finished brackets are turned so the gusset side of the angle is away from the truck arm brackets. This affords enough room between the brackets that I can weld them completely.

I propped the brackets in place with some wood blocks and my welder's angle magnets and used an angle finder to make sure they are vertical both ways. I will roll the rear end out from under the frame later and finish-weld everything. For now, I just put a few good heavy tack-welds on the shock brackets to hold them in place. All that remained was to bolt in the coilovers and remove the wood blocks that have been supporting the frame.
