Its done
Finally after almost 1 1/2 years, the chassis is finished. I couldn't weld the suspension brackets though as i don't have the shock
absorbers but il just grind off the paint, weld them on and touch the paint back up when i have the funds 
Im not sure how heavy it is but il try and weigh it tomorrow as im sure a few of you would like to know Judging by the feel i would say it is about
150% the weight of my diff (if anyone knows the weight of a jag diff)

yep, and they're the ones with 2.25" i.d springs, you can get narrower ones (1.9" i.d) but, i'd stick with the bigger ones for
your sherman tank engine
