    So these past few weekends have been good. Got the old suspension out, got the "new" rear axle narrowed, and tonight a buddy and me got the "new" 4 link all tacked in and rolled the car into the night air for the first time in over a year.

    Here are a few pictures of the parts and labor that went into making the 4 link system work. I added 3.5" to the lower link arms (which came out of a 92 Lincoln LSC).

    Here are the new axle tabs I had cut out at a local shop by my house.

    And after staring at the car with it's new stance for an hour, it was time to tuck her back in until I can get some time to finish weld all the rear suspension stuff.

    In the process of opening my own shop so I haven't had any time recently to do any work or post pictures. I hope to be making more progress in April though. When I do I'll post more pictures! Thanks for the post


    I remember my first build. 1964 Rambler American
     
  5. Liking the look of this. :)

    My car is almost that low in the rear... thanks to completely sagged out leaf springs. :)
