Weld on GN snout sticking way to far out? Welded to 1/4"? plate? The plate it's welded to should be thicker and have a hole in it the the spindle passes through to get welded on both sides. Lower a-arm attachment bolt either has a treaded bung or nut welded inside the spindle. Either way it's going to come loose and when it does the bolt will fall out as it is point south to begin with. That's just for starters.......

Thats 1/2" cromoly plate not 1/4".

Thats a steel snout AND hub and is in the right spot once the wheels and brakes are on.

Never had a lower spindle bolt come out in thousands and thousands and thousands of miles with near identical setups.

Looks like it is gonna be a solid car.

It is almost impossible to post any project on here with out someone trying to say something negative. For this reason many members refrain from posting thier progress pics. This is not stingers first rodeo. He has done dozens of cars and I have never seen any suspension products fail. Welcome to the board. Just understand that you will always find someone here who would have done things differently than who ever the builder is! Everyone has differences of opinion. I do believe you will be happy with the build.

Yeah i have seen a few of Donny's projects, some times i don't agree with the way he builds some stuff, but he knows his **** and it does great.
