Nice work and it seems to have come out ok. Why not just buy the EMPI or Topline kit though? It isn't that much money, and uses commonly available inserts.

Plus if you can weld and have the parts there it's pretty much free.

I did the same thing back in the 90s before the adjustable struts really hit the mainstream market to get bigger wheels to fit.
