Mike,
Are the front fenders metal or fiberglass?

Please keep the pics coming.

The front fenders were carbon fiber. After modification the fenders are still carbon, however the flares were hand fabbed out of aluminum.

So which direction are you going with this?

How are you modding your suspension to get even more drop?

It will resemble Franks 65' Fastback (Lower Image), however with a street tone to it. To lower the car is has been fairly easy. For the rar we used our MOD2 rear suspension and making new lower control arm brackets to account for the reduced ride height. This led into fabbing clearance for rear end and driveshaft. For the front we also used the same MOD2 front suspension that has been in the car and made new control arms and modified spindles

Excellent! So is this still a work in progress or are you teasing us?

Can't wait to see more!

It is a delayed, sped up build. The car is already in Texas for the COTA USCA event.

Have fun this weekend with the new set up, Mike. I'll be sure and check in with the rest of the crew at the MiniNats...you know, make sure they're "working".
