Not to be difficult, but I'm going to suggest you do a bit more reading on how suspension works before you use that lower wishbone. That is if
you plan to mount it as your photographs seem to indicate. The lower mounts need to be on a straight line, parallel to the centre line of the car,
otherwise the upright will swing in and out as the wishbone moves up and down.
The photo's are not too clear but I looks like some more welding practice may be in order too
Cheers

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

Fred,
I appreciate criticism and advice, thats why we post I calculated the swing for the suspension system in 3D and it worked fine. hope it works in
reality
When Im done with my mockings I will get a prof. welder in to finish up nicely for me

Fred u were right , i forgot to work those rear lower wishbones out with the hub mounts.
Anyways, took ur advice and did some changes. here are some updates as well. I know its stepping on Warner R4 turf but im in love with those curves
and its the simplest way to build a frame without too many tools:
