The Baja350 - a Dentside Story

Welded up all the link pivots, got them tacked up on the frame.
A local friend is pointing out that he thinks the upper link spread is pretty narrow. I'll have to go look back at the loads from the 4-link calculator and see if it's concerning enough to re-do that frame segment to make it wider.

Ended up re-doing the rear frame kick from all plate after some of my fellow polygoat old heads talked me through their ideas.
For the dorks - doing this design gave me ~3.5" per side of extra width on the upper link mounts, which from my quick math should be ~30% reducton in link load. So absolutely worth the squeeze.
I was definitely bullied into making this change by my friends - and I'm glad they did. haha

Things are just tacked at the moment.
The plates you see laying around loose on the frame rail will be added to the kick section to box it all out after I weld out the bolt spacer doodads.
The 45 deg kicks on the back side of the frame aren't permanent. I just left em on there for now as leftovers from the original frame kick I had built

Here's the results:
