    Damn it!!! By the time I get mine done, everyone will have a slammed Caddy!
    Looks great... gave me some motivation to get off my lazy ass and finish the front bags on mine.

    Interesting, i've never seen lower control arms chopped up and restacked and welded like that. Is it really worth the extra 1 1/2" to modify the control arm like that? Must be a pretty damn good welder to send something out the door like that. The rest of the work looks great, should be very nice when it's all done.
