I am in the same boat man. The reason why progress is so slow for me as well. They will eventually be finished. Look at it this way. At least yours can roll....

I am investigating 3 links. Question on your upper frame mount. What joint is this? I see lots of upper link frame mounts with the joint at 90° and it sure will make the execution simpler. Do you like this set up? Does it limit flex?

I am sorry if I missed the explanation in the thread. I was in awe of the fabrication skills. I really need a laser table!

I'm using the Johnny Joints from Currie.... When it comes time to replace the joints inner I will be using the metal cloak ones called Duroflex Joint.... With the duroflex joints you get more angle out of them

I didn't know if I wanted to runt he joint in that passion at first but after doing alot of research and everything should be fine. The flex is awesome just need to do some stuff to the rear leafs to get more flex out of it. If you need more help just pmed me and I'll give me my cell.
