It's looking great! Are those 16" Air Shocks?

You probably have plans for this, but I'd suggest heavilly gusseting the upper bracket on the frame end.

Thank's Greg Yes, they are 16" yes I plan on gusseting and boxing all the brackets but the front driveline may not work with the link's were I have them so it is all just tacked in so I can change it if I need to, the link's are in the Ideal place for me right now so I hope that the driveline will work. The uppers front and rear are the same lenght 39" and same with the lowers front and rear are 42 1/2" I need to finish the rear hoop so I can put the air shocks on and cycle it before I final weld.

Thanks guys for the nice words. The shop is by Aspen elementary. The only thing I am worried about is the front d-line, it is going to have to have a carrier but I am still worried about the oil pan and left lower control arm. I need to take it to the d-line shop and see what they say.
