Got the chevy springs mounted into place.
Then took everything off again to paint the frame.
Final assembly

How it currently sits. Got some mostly bald 33 inch TSL’s to at least get something on there. Still needs shock tabs welded on and shocks, rebuild or replace the front drive shaft and crossover steering as it turns out.

Has a lean which I like to think is from uneven springs that came off the back rather than my work. I triple and quadruple checked the frame work and from what it looked like the one spring was saggier than the other. It’s hard to say. I will address it at some point, most likely with new springs as money allows.
