The Phoenix Build

diggin the lexus front clip and all the sweet triangulation there snappy!
 
Progress is slow.... Work for 3 or 4 hours and it looks like you haven't done anything. We got the sway bar mounted and flexed her out for fitment...

Ready for shafts yet? :)
 
I've seen what is inside the axels!
 
Got the rear shocks mounts made tonight. We cut and notch a couple of pieces of 1.25x.120 wall dom to act as a center guide to keep the 1" hole centered. Then it was through bored and a 1"x.250 slug welded in.

Got the oil cooler mounted below the fuel cell.... Mud made these brackets and I welded in some old dowel I had laying around. The oil cooler will be held in place with hose clamps on final assembly.
