Jeep 4.0 in 69 Barracuda

Update
Well, here is where we sit with the project. As state above, I bought a new lathe so I can machine some new bushings for the upper and lower control arm. After getting the lathe setup, I found a set back which I am not happy with it. In short, I do not like the how the cutting bit tool holder works. I wont go into great detail, but the cutting bit is almost 1/4 inch below the center line and Grizzly solution is to put shims under the bit. The better solution is to replace the stock tool holder to with a aftermarket quick change holder which has a height adjustability feature. So nothing has been done since as I need to purchase a $150 tool bit holder now. With Christmas coming, I am going to see what Santa drops off before I go about buying it.

I am still looking for assistance in correcting the lower control arms. I may buy a portable band saw so I can start cutting up the control arms for prep to welding the corrections.

Meanwhile, my car is out of the garage and in the tarp storage building allowing my son to use the garage for his project. I will be taking some measurements regarding the stock lower ball joint locations and posting them here.

Things between the wife and I are holding stable with a possibility of surviving.
