Ok sorrySmile, I haven't kept track on the hours and It's been a while so I don't remember exactly. A few nights, maybe 15 hours or so

Ok, I can see the pics now; for some reason they weren't coming up on my work computer.  Very nice project. 
 
Are the upper control arms finished yet?  If so, can you post some pics?  How thick was the plate that you welded in?
Also, what did you use to get the undercoating off?  I'm assuming it didn't come off with the soda blaster.
 
Thanks

No not yet, I'll post pics when they are ready. The plates are about same thickness as the control arms. Could have been a little bit thinner but I had that in my garage. Maybe I'll make the spare ones a little bit lighter, but lets try these first. I'm going to do the sway bars like they had in trans am cars attached to these UCA:s so they have to be quite stiff.
 
I sand blasted the parts.

Some progress, still have to make the bracket for the sway bar.

 

Also made the upper crossmember removable for easier engine assembly
