Now to make the lower links of the 4 link system. My entire plan comes together here- I want to make the split wishbones function as bottom links without losing the look of a split 'bone. Hopefully no hardcore traditional rodders are watching- I am about to butcher a set of '36 bones. But I still plan to use the spring hangers, and everything should look clean when done.
This shows the bushed end of a GM A-body lower control arm, the one I sourced (scrounged) from a 1970 Oldsmobile rear axle housing. I got both arms and cut them down to this width. I will make the axle brackets rather than use the Olds ones.
Band-sawing the ends off.
Spring hanger and rest of forged end is all cut up!
Approx fit of bushing end.
Welding it on.
