well here are some more pics.
rough cut from on the body from the outside
rough cut from the inside
how close the rear end gets at full compression. the center is less then 1/16 away from the angle iron support piece
a little trimming on the cross member still need to fill in the small area.

now all i need to do is install the springs, brake lines done to the rear (small piece of hose), and hook up the parking brake, a little glass work, oh yeah and paint it. Then it is on to the front side of things motor and trans. then comes the drive shaft. then comes a hell of a lot of fun. :thumbs: :rofl:

If you don't mind my saying so, and you'll pardon my "French" but...
...GET THE FUCK OUTA HERE!!! Holy shit, that's some pretty impressive stuff you've done there -well, it certainly impressed me (duh!).
How long did that take you from start to finish? How much extra on top of the $1100 for the basic kit?

i bought the complete rear system from them it was like 4300 plus shipping
look at the post above yours
that was complete rear with all the good parts listed rear brakes all done and ready to go..... install was pretty easy it is a great kit that gives great directions. it is not fair to ask how long it took form start to finish since i did not work as hard on it as i could have it took about 2 hours to get all the stuff out if i started it again and work on it after work every night i bet it could be done in a week no problem.

Isn't that the kit that Dep was yapping about all the time?

Yes, that's the same kit I was endorsing. Very nice job!!!
Glad to see that kit is still available. Is that a Ford 9 inch rear end? Very heavy duty if it is. Only drawback for me would be the welding part of it. No comptetent welders in my area. At least, none that I would trust to do that job.

Sounds like someone needs a mig welder for Christmas. Mig welding is easy...even I can do it. You'll wonder what took you so long.

Stick is for fabbing shelf brackets from 1/4" steel.... get a MIG, let's say a $300 Lincoln from HomeDepot.... won't take long to get used to it
