    OK I may get some slack for this, but BURN that sucker on there, paint it and go drive it, don't over think it, I've been welding for years, what you're trying to do isn't too out of the ordinary!

    Been taking things of the LF wheel of the donor truck. I got the shock, coil spring, and the dreaded upper control arm. Its pretty rusty. I have been cleaning it with a spinning steel wire brush on a drill. I couldn't get the upper ball joint to separatedonor.jpg donor bucket.jpg donor control arm.jpg , so I took it loose at the control arm. I need to talk to the welder before much else can be done. Where is the best place to cut? and other questions must be resolved.
