I got the mini towers in the car today and the kmember squared to the car. Everything went good just took longer then I wanted so I didn't get a chance to install the upper and lower control arms. I'm going to try and get that done tomorrow. I also made two brackets to support the kmember. The first one I mentioned before I used a piece of angle iron to close up the gap between the frame rail and the kmember.

Then the rear mount of the kmember had a big gap between it so I got piece of iron bar to fill in the gap.

I did test fit the upper arm on the driver side since it was easy.

I need to install the bushings into the lower control arms to get them in the car. They are a really tight fit. I tried to freeze them but they still wouldn't install. I think I need to press them in. Unfortunately my press isn't easy to get out. I'm hoping to get it finished up over the next couple weeks.
