Haven't done the spring thing yet but did make some progress.  The body was on for mock up to ensure clearance wasn't an issue for steering, motor, tranny, etc.

I'd suggest "gusseting" the shock mount where you show it tacked to the side of the frame.  The frame material is .080-.090" at best and the shock bracket material is probably .375".  You can rip a chunk right outta the frame with a good impact.  Gussets or some sorta plate under the .375" material will spread the load.

This is awesome. Where did you get the rack and pinion from. Nice work.
