Yeah, I just sat there and looked at it for a while and when I put those arms parallel to the vehicle it all made sense. Now its time to pull the hood and fender back off, patch up the frame and put a new nut in for the bottom fender bolt, stop the brake leak, put the driveshaft in, add some trans fluid, and I should be able to move it around without worries. After that, its finish the floor for the 4speed shifter, mock up a center console, and get some tires for the rear.

I made the pitman arm and the idler arm point straight parallel to the vehicle, and noticed that the center link was not "Centered" in the vehicle, and if it was turned around, and the tie rod ends were turned around it would work. Problem Solved. I now have an inch of clearance between the sway bar and the end links.

so who was the one that disconnected the tie rods and turned the center link around? Just playing, But just think in a month and a half we are going to be cruising in Maryland with it.
