Remember in post #116 I told about the shock angle and the steering difugalty? How the steering arm hit the shock? And then too the mount was tipped back a little in relation to the grille shell, (which I didn't show or tell you about) heeheee. Well, I cut them off the frame and trimmed the angle some, then welded them back on (straighter) and then bored new holes for the shocks up higher for a steeper shok angle. Then just bored out the lower (original) holes bigger to make for some visual interest So that made for some clearance with steering arm, although with the ball stud and mating end on the drag link, I found it still not clearing in a hard left turn. Solution, NO HARD LEFT TURNS!
