    Fuck it.
    Install them without gussets, get the alignment and just put 2 or 3 solid tack weld each of the cam plates to the frame. It will take you a couple minutes to grind off the tack welds if you have to get another alignment later.

    I just ordered all the gussets and they should be getting here by Friday, fingers crossed! So I'll have all the gussets ready to go on with the install if we have the appropriate welder and skill on hand.

    Unfortunately I only have the front end, the rear I plan on doing is going to be coming from dmz once they build one for a guy and make jigs to reproduce it for a kit set up. I didn't want to spend extra money on things I was just going to swap out for something else. Jerry wouldn't want to make a trip would you???

    Do you know anyone else that would be skilled enough to do it? Maybe see if they are free then?

    This is not looking good to get done this saturday. My boss is on sabbatical and is no where to be found so i couldnt get the bigger welder. So even if we find someone with the ability, they would have to bring their own welder.

    I have all the parts, I would really like to do it still if everyone else is at least still willing to help. It's going to suck once I have to take it all apart again to put the gussets in but...I've waited to long to turn back now.
