This is my idea for my upper A-arms.  This is the original ball joint from the alfa.  with some mods I think this might work.  The forward arm will be lengthened and a heim joint added to the inboard end.  THe rear arm will be shortened threaded and heim joint added to inboard side.

I relocated my 4 link axle link to the rear of my axle.  This made my links 14" long , instead of 9".  Everything I read says make links as long as possible.  I still have to box in the brackets.
This is how I did my corners.  I could not find anyone who could bend 1" tubing to 2" or 3" radii.

A local machine shop ordered these stainless steel corners for me.

Today I set the axle in place.  WOOHOO it is going to fit.  Now I just have to figure out a good way to center it up in chassis.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.
I went to a "7" gathering in Kansas City this weekend.  This was one of 14 cars there.  Lots of inspiration
