PS Lower control arm bracket

First of many brackets to come for the rear suspension:


Bolt on the bracket piece to the control arm and jack into place:

 Zap.  This was the root pass.

Welded the inside too: 

After the second pass:

Bracket back in, transfer punch the hole onto the other side:

Drill hole through and bevel.  Bolt in place:

Tack in place then, remove bracket assembly again and weld up fully.

I closed up the back.  Even though this is a two force member, in roll the bushings will get torqued so I wanted to make sure the bushing moved, not the steel.  Also, thought it might help avoid a possible resonance issue.
