Upper control arm mount

OK, with my control arms done and out of the way….time to start working on the axle again.

After work I managed to get a bit of work done….I finished building the driver side UCA mount.

nothing a little hole saw can’t handle

JKS bushing cradle

where it’s going

but wait, let’s make it look kinda pretty, and not like i just stock a piece of box tubing with a hole in it up there

some 1/8″ flat will cap that off nicely

here’s where a TIG would have come in handy, but i don’t have the money for one of those yet….so I’ll use what I got

…and tacked in position
