Re: 69 viper stepside
the frame was stripped down to it's bare self..
from there it is sand blasted to clean white metal
paper templates were made for future boxing plates
6 inches needed to be removed from the length so now was the time to do it
now the rest of the templates could be made
once the templates were finished and taped into place. a few measurements were made up front with te moc up of the spindle
it was realized through measuring that a new cradle must be used

Re: 69 viper stepside
at this point the decision was made to move on to the rear.
a four link is in order for this project
brackets for this link system will be tack welded for a trial fit
then the brackets were welded permanently
now came the istallation of a watts link. this will help keep things centered and stable
now the coi; over were taking their place
