Work has now begun on the front spring conversion.  The 5 inch blocks on the front made the Graboid a terror on the roads.  Here are some photos I am using as a guide.
First step, and usually my favorite, Rip things out!
Now to find out what the previous owners did.  Its UGLY!  They had tack welded 6 inch blocks onto the spring perches.  The 2nd photo is of the drivers side spring perch, or where it used to be.  Two whacks with a hammer an it was gone.  As you can see in the 3rd photo, (the passenger side spring perch)  their welding skills were not the best.
After some time with a grinder and wire brush it looked a bit better.  I have mocked up the spring perches to make sure the locations will work.
Now for some welding.  I recruited a freind that actually knows what he is doing, told him not to ask any questions and just weld.  Here are the results of the passenger side mount.
With both of the lower mounts welded it is now time to mock things up so I can measure for the radius arms and panhard rod
