Im a tad confused. Bear with me as Im slow today. Why turn the wrenches into A arms if no one can tell they started off as wrenches? Seems like wasting perfectly good wrenches?

Well, no rolling chassis this weekend either... The idea I had for making the attachment to the balljoints wasn't going to work. Time for a plan B.
I did do something constructive though. The last time I moved the car, I did something stupid. To balance it on the chain hoist, I ran the chain around the dash bar and the firewall bar. The leverage pulled the dash bar forward and damaged the frame.  Well I worked on making the frame stronger. First, I cut out the damage and welded in fresh metal.  Then I came up with a reinforcement plate to spread the load out (more cop car metal)   glued in  seriously glued in  top surface ground down  I still have to do the other side.... Next time, I won't lift the whole car by the dash. Engine and trans are coming out.

Would fenders be too much for my car?
This pic makes me think I need fenders.
