CJ buggy build

Went out with a group on my TJ today so I didn't get much done. Centered and squared the rear axle to the frame and set my wheel base. Made a set of dummy control arms. I'm waiting on a drill press to be delivered to drill brackets to a 3/4" hole.IMG_20170115_135921211.jpgIMG_20170115_221231092.jpg

The tube to frame adapters where off so I cut them off and going to make new ones tomorrow. Going to change how the rear hoop angle from level to 45. My hardware for my brackets and control arms came in today. I need to drill out the bracket bolt holes to 3/4, a drill press is being delivered tomorrow. Plan on getting a lot done soon.IMG_20170120_180947078.jpgIMG_20170120_174450376.jpg

Fabricated some new tube to frame plate and welded them in. IMG_20170121_190230459.jpg. Drilled and reamed out all my control arm bracket mounting hole to 3/4" to match the misalignment spacers for my joints.IMG_20170121_190633483.jpgIMG_20170121_202040264.jpgIMG_20170121_205626596.jpg

Started to get the frame ready for the new control arm mounts. The old tub and leaf spring mounts were cut off and the welds are getting ground off. A little bit of grinding is left for tomorrow.IMG_20170122_192804389.jpgthe passenger side is all but prepped.IMG_20170122_192750090.jpgIMG_20170122_200022002.jpgIMG_20170122_204514434.jpg the driver's side has the bulk of what's left to finish.
