Looking great True!!

Don't worry about the parts if you break, alot of it was off the shelf. Heims are standard and I believe the bell crank came from Fay's. You gonns paint the entire underside gray?

It looks very good. If it drives half as good as it looks you'll be dialed....

Love it True! Welcome back :thumbsup:

Paint the bottom of a car?

Nah, the black that's on it now is just Eastwood primer to cover the bare metal from where I scraped off the old nasty undercoat. It'll get seam sealer where needed and maybe a bit of Lizard Skin to take the edge off the heat and noise. That's it.

I've always kinda thought that smoothing firewalls was a bit of a pointless expense but body working the underside of a car is like scented toilet paper. It's just gonna get crap all over it so why?

Right now, that is NOT a compliment.

But :thankyou:

Hey true don't forget about Carl Chicca's '69 Camaro also running the LD set up. Probably the fastest '69 Camaro on a road course.

Glad to see the huge progress :thumbsup:

That's a great looking 3 link set up. It should serve you many good times on the autocross and track. I like the way the lower link bars are skewed slightly inward toward the driveshaft center line of the car, giving the total 3 link system better articulation. Nice set-up with the Watts link in the back.

Great work and looking forward to seeing what you do with the front.

True,
I see some issues in your photos.
1. The front upper link mount can hit the driveshaft if it intrudes past the tunnel on the left side. I had to trim it on Penny & OLC.

2. The brake line hose anchors need to be moved to the front of the housing. If you use the tabs on top, they may get pinched against the frame rail. They did on Bad Penny.

3. The shock hose fitting will be super close to the exhaust pipes. Three options, notch the frame rail & put the hose outward, notch the crossmember more inboard & move the pipes in a bit. Run 2.5" tail pipes & dimple them in near the fitting. You don't want those fittings getting too hot, there are seals in them. O.l.c. Has 3" pipes which are dimpled.

Thanks for jumping in Dave, appreciate it! In order:

1 - I'm not following you in this

2 - That one I recall on BP. Gotta call Chris' guys and order a set of these:

3 - Noticed that right away. I'm planning on a 2.5" exhaust anyway to keep the sound in the "I get along with my neighbors" range. Along with that, I'm thinking a heat shield riveted to the trunk floor should do the trick.

Lookin' good!

Alignment does not seem to be off. The watts will be center of car not center of housing. In line with drive shaft and it has an offset pinion like all 9 inches. Watts will be 2 inches over from center of housing.
