Re: My 86 build
NO MORE LEAFS!!!.........and not the maple leafs either. lol. 4-link is in, bags are mounted, just have a few things to finish up, a little welding to do and some gussets to make, but the hard part is done.....broke a brake line when I was moving it out of the way, but I have a fix for that!! .....and shocks are too short, bottoming out before the bags...and the gas tank hits the ground!.....

thanks.....the 18"s are back on, I think I have a couple inches between the bag and tire...I had already moved the bag mount an inch closer to the front mount from where I originally had it because I thought it was close!

"after a coulple hours of grinding!....12, 4" link tabs, just need to drill them now!"

You can buy brackets like that cheaper than you can make them. Places like Speedway or Ballistic Fabrication.

the ones I needed were $7.99 each plus shipping!....seein' as I already had the steel, and a borrowed plasma, so it just cost me labour, and my labour is free....but I do recommend buying them!

Re: My 86 build
well I ordered in a wilwood rear disc brake kit today, I dont care much for the look of the rear drums, and my rear brakes are done anyway. I was originally going to go with the SSBC brake kit, but the wilwood is a little cheaper and runs a 12" drilled and slotted rotor vs the 11" slotted, and no cost for powdercoated calipers.

Looking good man! What's the part number on that rear disc setup? My dad is looking a setup like that with the hat style parking brake.
