upper control arm and mount

Had a huge day on Sunday:
First tacked on the control arm tube.  I made this fixture to make sure the tube got put on straight.
 Tacked the bracket into place:

Ready to be welded up.

Seem to get the best welds when it matters most.  Glad for the good luck.

To shim the clevis with some clearance, I made this .025 thick washer on the lathe:

 Welded up the other side of the clevis:

Like above, here is the first quarter of weld on the control arm:

All in place and tacked together:

Control arm done:

Everything back in the car.  Passenger side is complete now and ready for paint.
