Looking for new member with silver frame
A new forum member posted some pics of his frame a few days ago and I can not find the post. The frame was silver with a lot chrome on it. He was in the middle of building the car. I would like to see the pic of the gussets he added to the lower A-arm mounts.

Thanks for the link, thats the one I was looking for.
71vetteLT-1 the jack stanks are under the trailling arms, suporting the frame so the spring is unloaded, thats what it looks like to me.

if the jack is under the tarm then even if it was jacked up and a jack put under it then it would pull up on the spring not let it loose...our dual mount's spring ends are always on the bushings, on stands and off...

your right I did not think that through. I am going to have to look at that picture again and see if I can figure that one out.
