Last on the to-do list before the run on 21st is to replace my rear control arm brackets.. I got the brackets.. but I have no garage big enough to house my jeep for the day to do the work.. also, I cannot weld, neither do I own a welder.. I would like to get those brackets welded in place as an addition to the bolts..
Pizza and beer works for me, if you need money, that's cool. Id just really like to get it done.. mostly need the welding and garage that could fit my jeep
Thanks in advance

I could possibly help you with it Thursday (although it would be in the driveway, not the garage.) How long are you thinking it would take? If not thursday, then I am probably out, cause I am out of town for work for a couple weeks.

I don't think it would take long honestly, just unbolting the brackets, which drops rear axle and reinstalling / welding new ones (hooking control arms back up) maybe a 3 hr job tops?

Wow That's amazing! Originally i didn't want to enter my piece but the teacher convinced me that i might make it, so i entered it and i got in! I had no intention of mine being in an art show... but i guess attention to detail got me in! The hardest part of this was the glass, What a PITA.

Well, its made out of Styrofoam, the windows are made out of glass ( we painted the back of the glass so that it still looks shiny), We have steal wire for the trim, and aluminum foil for more of the trim and the wrap around the windows and running-boards, we have chrome for the exhaust tips. THE RIMS, i think the rims are the coolest part, I bent a piece of steal wire in a circle, pushed some aluminum foil though with my finger, hot glued the aluminum to the steal, cut the excess off and glued it to the wheel!
I did most of the work, my 2 minions cut the glass and painted the glass for me. it took approximately, 20 hours of work to complete!
