as for the front being welded, it drives good. but i have power steering, i wouldn't weld it until you have power steering.  and as for the tires rubbing, they used to rub really bad. to the point where one day we broke a birfield due to the tire being wedged in the fender.  so i did some persuading with my BFH and all is well again.  the wheel spacers helped out a bunch too.

oh yeah i forgot, i have about an inch trimmed out of my fenders too. that also prevents my tires from hitting, so far anyway.

you got inspiration from the forum, or my thread itself? either way it came out awsome.
