Rear engine cradle jig

This past weekend I built a jig so I could junk the current engine cradle and the 84-87 rear suspension setup for a 88 style setup, now I have to design the pieces that will make up the rear cradle and new engine mounts, there is still some welding that I haven't completed (busted the ceramic shield on the TIG welder and couldn't continue), I will also be changing some of the current mounts to proper LSJ mounts from the ION donor car. I've also completed the designs of the control arms for the rear suspension setup, now I just have to get some bushings and some tubing and those will be done.




Special thanks to R_Rourke who let me borrow his 88 cradle and suspension for mock up and measurements, also to CCFiero who's been helping out with the design of this project.
