The Howe idler arm I am using is completely adjustable for height and moves up and down quite a bit. The centerlink is also adjustable for height. Thats part of the reason I wanted to stick with the Howe centerlink and idler arms was for the adjustability. Its just loosely bolted together right now and will be adjusted after I weld in the adjustable spring cups. You can see how it (the idler arm) threads up and down better in this picture and then you tighten the set screw.

why is there not a build thread on this car? I searched for your screen name and unless I screwed that up, I'm not seeing one. You have me drooling all over myself with just these three pictures. Don't be a tease:lol:

Car looks great. So doesn't the center link. We need a build thread on that bad boy please. Looks like a killer car!:thumbsup:
Looks like you are running a Pro-Charger?

Steve,

You need a build thread for this project..............Oh and looks like you were not kidding about that top speed either. Those parts look very purpose built for performance. Nice work !!! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the kind words. Its been a long process. The car has been apart for 4 years and is finally looking like a car again so I hadn't bothered doing a build thread with such a long time between any updates. Sometime over the holidays maybe I'll start one.
As for the supercharger, it is a prochrger F2, and the motor is set back quite a bit, probably about 10-11inches. The front of the car does have flares to cover all that rubber without affecting the turning radius.
I'll post a pic I took on friday. It still has its 'old school' paint job done a dozen years ago. I'll get it painted when the car is complete.

Very nice. Do you have any idea on horsepower/torque numbers?
That is going to be a kick ass car!!:thumbsup: :hail:
