Wow! I was not expecting so many replies already. Thanks for all the appreciation guys!
Finally I get to sit down and do some more posting.
As you may have noticed in the last photo, When i dropped the front crossmember and rear subframe I applied some de greaser and went to town cleaning on them.
After the thorough cleaning the spindles, suspension arms, diff, axles Etc.. were pulled off to be refinished with gloss black paint, and have all the bushing replaced with brand new energy bushings!
Please excuse the very poor photos guys, I did not have my Nikon around for a lot of this build, I will dig up as much as I can.
I also purchased a " new " Oe replacement rack, Oe replacement lower control arms, and Ichiba 5 lug hubs.
Brand new OEM rear lower control arms.
Energy suspension bushings in the spindles with fresh coat of gloss black.
Also here is the Underside of the chassis with a fresh coat of lizard skin after pressure washing the underside. That was a giant mess, and pain in the ass. especially in cold weather.. huge thanks to Gramps for helping me out with that.
I had my buddy Mike cut and weld up some of the seams in the fender wells, cut that razor sharp seam at the top of the fender, and welded that before all the coating was applied.
Finished product:
