The Apex Pro-TA lets you tuck a full length exhaust system. To save time and money, my old Flowmaster 3" system has been pieced back together. Over the winter, I plan to do custom headers and an oval tube 3.5" exhaust system.

A lot of rear suspension systems do not allow room for tailpipes leaving you SOL on noise reduction. Tailpipes are critical for me. I refuse to choke on fumes.

This poor fuel cell has been hacked and tweaked more times than I care to remember. Jake shortened it front to back to make room for the rear crossmember.

Yes, the cell will be painted. But never mind that. Check out the custom trunk pan around the cell. Jake's Rod Shop built the sheetmetal and framework from scratch and then finished it with filler and schultz paint.

Jake's out there hammering my car right now. I'm not. With leaf springs, the car used to suffer from severe wheel hop and a driveline vibration at triple digit speeds. Early reports indicate that both issues have been resolved. I can't wait to drive it.

Very nice....the only thing I see tha makes me a little uneasy is the way the coilover is mounted to the rear end. Looks like a long thin spacer. I'd prefer an aluminum block or steel block with a shorter stud.

Looks very cool Steve and sounds like it's solved all your previous issues!! :thumbsup: Can't wait to get the torque arm on my car and feel the difference first hand! Always love to read your write-ups... it's like hearing the narrator from "Rides" in my head! LOL Extremely well written and detailed install!! :cheers:

custom cnc mounts are on the way(i have over 4k street miles on my test car, with over 700 laps between nhms,watkins glen and mt. tremblant circuits with no issue), but what you dont see is the 1/2 thick plate the the single shear lower shock mounts bolts into behind the trailing arm bracket. btw the spacer is 1.375 long

Killer setup the mounts are killer but I love it. what about pinion angle change?how is that done?:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I know you have beat the hell out of it just making an observation.

Looks like a really nice setup. :thumbsup:

Nice Steve
If it runs like Jakes did when I seen Jake drive his ...... WOW

Run up there and take it for a spin, Pete. No wheelies though!
