is it just me or is that metal your using kinda thin for that type of stuff?
I wonder, how thick is this metal? It looks like 1/8"
Wow that is thin...In the first pic, I think I can see right through the bracket. (the transparent type of "see through")

I would deff go back and build all those pieces around twice as thick for sure.

yea the arms are gettin redone when i get home. I listened to my instrutvtors at school but that didnt get very far and by the time i decided i didnt want it like that it was too late and i ran out of time. Im gonna rebuild the arms and make everything stright and prolly just build the arms out of tube this time. You would think insturctors in a chassis fab class would be able to steer you in the right direction but not this time. It was kind of a first for all of us but ya live and learn.
The arms are 1/8 in flat stock and they "said" that would be plenty stong since theres no weight in the back of the car but oh well
