looks good.  quick question are the lower control are brackets on the axle  up side down or is that how they are suppose to be? and they look like they could be angled down allitle more.  they way they look in the picture being that streight it could cause the axle to rotate under torque.  it could just be the way the picture looks though.  not trying to knock your work at all looks very good

The axle won't rotate.  That's what the upper control arms are for. Smiley  There will be a little give because of the rubber bushings, but nothing that will cause big problems.

Rear shock hoops are bent and welded in. One of the rear shocks are tacked in.  Last night it was pointed out to me that the rear bumper isn't level/straight, so that will have to be redone.
