|
|
I'm narrowing a beam for a buddy of mine. We're trying to keep the original look on it. I still need to go through a final touch up on some welds before the powder coat. It might not seem like a 3 and a half chop on pics, but it is. I used the bottom ends from another beam in place of the shock towers. I also cut the bull horns from the rubber bumpers and seal welded the holes. The square blocks for the steering box were also moved to their proper location. A Gene Berg select a drop was used. Here's some pics.

Nice welds on those adjusters homie and I like how you capped the old shock tower ends, very clean looking. _________________ It's not about the window, it's about the people.

Why does it look like the adusters are welded at the wrong angle |

The adjusters do look like they are welded in to Raise the front not lower it. FYI those are avis adjusters not select-a-drop. Select-a-drop is welded to the bottom and pulls/turns the cut top beam to lower it.

Yeah, my bad, avis adjusters. I welded them where the center of the oval hole is in stock position. It's still gonna have lowered spindles. So that should give me some raise and lowering.
