JR's 51 Oldsmobile

Here's what the rear looked like before I tore it apart.

To bag the rear I needed to get rid of the leaf springs and build a triangulated 4-link. Here I started laying out where the top bars would go.

I made a bunch of patterns for brackets

All brackets were cut out of 3/16" plate.

Here are shots of tacking all the rear suspension pieces in place.

Here's the Chevy 350/TH350 engine mounts and transmission crossmember.
