    I normally am a very positive person, and I NEVER put down other peoples projects. But based on those pictures I wouldn't drive that car around the block. The welds look like they don't have good penetration and nothing more than a bunch of tack welds all put together. One part looks like it is welded to the floor? Which will stress crack and tear in no time on most any driving conditions. And the spring pockets look as if they are formed from a bunch of scrap metal.

    I really hope these are just bad pictures, because that scares the hell out of me.

    Sorry if this is rude, I am trying to save your life!

    Just got done showing my wife these pics and we had the exact same discussion before I even read the next post. I get on thru here and find these comments. I'm glad you said it, he needs to know these are dangerous.

    Thanks,
    SPark
