I fiddled a bit more with the swaybar arms, and started clearancing the wheel wells in the front to prepare for the flares.
Lots to do, but each "next step" will code about $250. I'm going to see what I can do that is free for a while.

1. You can see the swaybar pivots through the grille opening. |
|

2. This may look a little off, but measurements say the holes are equidistant from the pivots as marked. |

3. Drill points punched and ready to go. |
|

4. Trusty old outdoor drillpress. I am going to have to service it sometime soon. |

5. Drilled and ready to go. |
|

6. Bolted through. I have some frame reconfiguration to do, but everything is close. |

7. They kick up to clear the steering rack nicely. |
|

8. This setup with spacers will change a little later on. |

9. First cut marked out. We had the wheel centerline more a tiny little bit forward. |
|

10. I took a couple of pics and forgot to use only the best one. I am going to do my best to save the chrome strip along the body. |

11. More needs to be cut off the front. This marker needs to go. |
|

12. With the marker removed. |

13. First rough cut with the strip held up for effect. |
|

14. Same rough cut on the driver side. |

15. Tire back on, this shows how much clearance we picked up. |
|

16. Same on driver side. |

17. I cleaned up the bottom of the cut a bit with an air body saw. |
|

18. This is touching, and not quite at full lock. Plus I want to make sure I have a half inch at least at full lock. |
Now I need to either order more blades online for my air saw, or go to Harbor Freight. It seems that nobody else has them in town, and my body saw blade is very dull.
