    • Ok so I stayed up all night, or until 2:30, working on the taurus. I got the two control arms built painted an installed. I managed to pick up another 3 inches of drop in the rear. Unfortunately my tires are hitting on the arches really bad so it wont lay all the way down. I know "Roll the damn arches", I working on it. Its like for made them out plate they do not want to budge, but I've got some ideas. I guestimate it will be right at rim once my clearance problem is remedied. Also I hooked my rear bumper on a stupid plastic parking lot divider thing and ripped it damn near in half. Oh well.

      Stock rear lower control arm.



      I made up a quick little jig so that the arm couldn't twist or bend when I welded it up.



      Cut out the old spring perch and notched the top.



      Put the cup in and welded it in.



      New and old.

      Hopefully more coming soon.

                            • Hey, hows it going? Ive been in winter mode, so not much to update. I did tear the front apart and lower the strut further into the knuckle, and knotch the frame a bit to clear the lower control arm. I picked up qbout a half an inch of drop. Ill have to do some serious surgery to the front sub frame to go any lower. As for the bumper im going to try to finish it up in the next couple weeks. I started my own busness in November and ive been focused elsewhere. Hopfully ill have it presentable for levenworth.
