Looks awesome Mike---looking forward to seeing it outside--the stance looks great from what I can see thus far----maybe I missed it, have you chosen a color/paint scheme for the car yet? I like the dash setup--

No trick,It was a pain in the a#$ this is how I did it.

1.Stock spindel.
2.short steering arm.
3.A-body sway bar.
4.DSE coilover kit.
5.Cut up stock frame to fit tires

I lost a .25" lock to lock but I dont care, I need to notch the upper control arms in one small area or get the speed tech arms.

DETON8R 03-05-2011 09:54 AM

NICE Build!!
 
Mike,
AWESOME!!
You did some of the things that I wanted to do.
Did you do your own roll cage? And how much work was it to connect those bars in the dash to the wondow pilars? I can tell that is a TON or work, but the stiffness will be well worth it.
Is the Rat rumbling yet, do tell!!!!
