My 2006 Wuerth Motorsports Build

Dropped the chassis and other components off at Powder last Friday! The chassis, suspension components, light rack are all getting done in the same semi gloss black.

spent Thursday night getting the front arms ready. There was a spot near the uniball cup that wasnt welded originally, so completed this. as well as added some weld material over some areas on the lower arms where the original spindles had rubbed the arms. Also fininished welding some tabs onto the engine cage removable section since i will have a skid plate that goes up to where the engine cage starts to bend in the back!

Was the weld on the tube (not the cup) on the arm a crack? If so, gonna add something over the top to keep it from cracking again?

It was from the arm rubbing the spindle due to too much steering. needed a stopper in the gearbox of some sort. It had the same issue on both sides. But now with the tatum spindles, and clearancing them a bit, im hoping the issue is gone. I will add a stopper in the steering box if needed.

Here's how it looked prior to filling it in:
