Building my triangulated 4 link

Well everything is completed. I borrowed a friends big welder and and it zipped right through this 1/4" steel. I accidentally burned through one of the threaded end adapters and had to order an extra one.
I got it all painted and installed and couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
the axle sits perfectly square in the car. It sits about 1/16" over to the passenger side, but I can adjust that out of it. And that's way better than the 1/2" off that the leaf spring perches were!
The car is still on jack stands until I put the fuel tank back in, so if I have time for that today I'll post some pictures of everything.
And because I did everything completely by myself, the total cost of everything is about half of the RMS Street Lynx kit. $1222 (not counting the time I spent on it)

Awesome! Can’t wait to see the finished product!

Time is money.

Sure, that’s true. But for some of us time is more readily available than money. And that’s too simplistic anyway. If you enjoy the work then it’s not just “lost” time. Not to mention the sense of satisfaction you get from learning new skills and doing something yourself.

And, even the RMS kit takes time to install.
