Well due to winter being cold and the fact that I hate cold weather, and a growing child (now 1 year old) needing more of my time, I have not had time to work on the car and report any progress. Well this week I have finally cut the torsion bars for my narrowed beam project. Today, I dimpled the torsion bars, blasted the control arms and installed new ball joints. Hopefully I will be able to post pictures of an almost rolling chassis.

Well I did not get a full rolling chassis like I had thought I would. I knew nothing about the camber adjustment spacers (or whatever they are called). They are sitting at work in the bottom of the trash can with the old ball joints. I will retreive them on Monday and start again.

This lil guy here http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VWC%2D131%2D405%2D319

Thanks for the offer Scott. Thats what held me up from finalizing the installment of my drop spindles. At first, I thought I had ordered the wrong upper ball joints. I went back to the above site (link) and noticed those spacers and remembered seeing something like that on the old ball joints. I will get em Monday and go from there. I do have rear wheels and tires on it, first time in a year!!!! I was gonna do a full resto on this but with the lack of time and cash, I think I am gonna get the mechanicals right and put her back together. I can work on her a lil at a time and still driver her at the same time. I guess it'll be a rat rod for the time being or hoodride, whatever its called.
