    I feel you on the safety glasses man. I wear glasses normally and can feel stuff bounce off them into my eyes. I even wore a face shield one time and got a piece of metal in my eye. Had to go back 4 times to have my eye ball grinded on to get the rust out. So now I just close my eyes lol. Jk don’t do that.

    I have had stuff get in my eye even with goggles and full face shield before (granting it was a rusty grimy car or truck) more then once, so it depends on the vehicle and the angle of attack if I put on protection, even then it's not full proof. Pro Tip* I keep a super strong, clean neodymium magnet in my first aid kit only used for getting metal out of my eye when it happens, only had to use it twice and it worked good both times.

    Eyes and metal shavings tip:
    If it happens again, and it probably will, unless you give up the "car game", go to a walk in optometrist (eye doctor). I paid that same $300 several times before I discovered that the optometrist did the same thing (probably better) @ $70-$90 and a lot faster.

    @evanpimental 4 года назад

    Alex give me your opinion on this... I love the high lock up, but those look very sketchy. Here's my idea. I'd like to build a jig for the spindles and it would use square tubing inside another square tube for the jig. The jig would bolt to the upper and lower ball joint holes. And you'd cut the spindle and then you'd use the jig to raise the spindle to a second position (because of the tubing) and then you weld some steel in there and the jig would ensure both sides are identical in geometry. If y'all sold 2-3" extended spindles, if buy them.

    Great looking car!!! If you want to use stronger bolts than grade 8 use aircraft quality bolts, the threads are not cut they are rolled which makes them stronger.
    BTW the safety glasses look great and with grinders or high speed cutters try using a face shield. The carbide cutters could break off since they are harder but brittle and could chip apart and if the fly off since they are braised to the steal shaft, it wouldn't be a chip of metal in you eye, it would be the whole cutter in your eye and you could lose an eye. Seriously you will have the nay sayers but when or if it happens you can't go back and wish you had a shield on when it's to late.
