Over the weekend I managed to weld on the front suspension cross member and get the front suspension bolted on. It all went fairly smoothly following the guidelines Scott’s Hodrods laid out. I didn’t bother to install the brakes at this time, I have to pull this apart later on to paint everything (frame and suspension). Next time I put it together I will install the brakes as I will probably be running all my brake lines.
Had to pickup a Bearing install kit off of amazon, its amazing the amount of little tools that make your life easier when assembling this stuff. I have setup some Amazon stuff so I can post the products that I have been using as I make progress on this build.
Other exciting news is, I secured the Engine for the truck, I am going to attempt to shoe horn in a monster 6.4L Hemi SRT into this build. The guys over at Cleveland Power and Performance provide an amazing turn key pallet that gives you everything you need. My 6.4L is coming from a 2012 300 SRT8 with 48k Miles on it.

More pics and video when this beast arrive in my shop.
While I wait I have a ton of final welding todo on the frame to get it ready to mount the engine and trans. I am recruiting some help to make sure these welds are the best they can be, not the best place to learn.
