@bryce
Thats just a very rough estimate of the camber gain.
@matt
Yeah David is hilarious and my bros truck is pretty decent but im going to put him to shame on power and handling ha
Also i will have more pictures tomorrow of the rear suspension mock up and might have time to weld it in depending on how i make my crossmembers for the truck arm crossmember. But there will definately be updates tomorrow
Thanks for the compliments

Well i got some more done on the chassis. built the watts link and shock mount bar, ordered my moser full floater housing with axles and hubs which should be here this week. I will be taking the chassis off the table on monday and flipping it so i can weld up all the bottom side of the chassis, then will be settinig it up as a roller so i can put the body bock on the chassis and build my new body mounts and start to fit everything together.

The wheels are just taped up dont wanna scratch them. They are full polished.
I personally think these chopped make them look ugly cause it already has that chapped look and i like the look of the whole cars body lines personally.
