Front end work

I've gotten a bit done since my last post, as in, most of the front end. To start with, I finished cutting and drilling the shock tabs, then promptly realized they wouldn't allow the shock to rotate (oops). So I cut them with a cutoff wheel.

 ...I cut them with two cutoff wheels.

Anyway, in the end, I got the shock mounts welded. Unfortunately, the "driver's side" features an interior weld that I made too big. I may or may not be able to grind it out, but currently only one of the shocks is able to function.

Also, the steering rods are welded. Not all that well, and they may have to be redone, but steering is functional. Except for having a steering wheel. And steering column.
