My tie rod and drag link was to long so I cut out what I needed to, beveled the edges, sleeved the tube with the only thing I could find, and welded it up. No I am not a welder, but I think it will be strong enough to hold together.

Dosent look like much, but I didn't have much in me today. I don't feel well most of the time. Anyways I took the rock sliders steadily brushed on gel paint stripper, let it soak lightly scrape, brush on lightly scrape 5 times. Then pressure washed, a now plain steel. I will DA them to ruff them up and the etching primer and raptor coat them

Almost got the engine out today but the rain started so we aborted mission.
