Yeah some round tube crossmembers done right should be better than those stamped steel pieces. And for the bushings i was mainly talking about the one inside the frame, popped in my head when i saw how open it all is compared to when i did mine. But yes it can be done later.
jsm did all my exhaust, good guys..

when do your tracks open?

They open up in March, but honestly most days in March and April get rained out.

Made a little progress today. Got the brake line bracket cut off, then started making the plates where the shock crosstube will land and made the tubes for between the shackle boxes and the shock tube. At the end mocked it all up just for fun, its not even measured up or anything. I still have a ton of frame cleanup to do before welding stuff in.

I haven't checked on the shells, but I'm ok with making new ones. The one side not letting the rubber come out kinda forces my hand. I might be able to get it out and reuse them.

I'll be mounting my panel on the shelf under the glovebox and radio. I'll have to open up the back of it, but I'll get my glovebox back and it'll slide right in.
