Nice work, you already have the jig, you should start selling them.

Re: upper a-arms I just built for my '69
Just out of curiousity how did you go about cutting your ball joint plates? I think that is the one obsticale that has held me back from building a set of my own.
Thanks Keith |

They have a ton of brackets for next to nothing both stamped and laser cuts. Makes it hard to justify cutting out your own and having to clean them up and still not look nearly as good. |

Re: upper a-arms I just built for my '69
Did you manipulate the geometry at all, or just clone the stock values?
