Nice job and really cool to see a father and son working on a project like this!

Thanks much,

We made the mounts. We decided to go with this set up so we could adjust the ride height without taking the shock out.

Making the mounts wasn't too hard but, positioning the shock so the jounce rubbers were timed properly took some head scratching.

Wow, I am absolutely blown away that this is your first build and you're doing such a wonderful job. I wish I had the place and the time to learn how to do what you're doing.

In total amazement!

How about posting up some pics if you haven't already

I started a post a while back but I need to update it. I've got the passenger quarter mocked on there, the pass drip rail is ready to go, and I'm working on the trunk floor now. Here is the link, I'll try and update it soon.

Thanks for all of the kind words guys.

I hope to have it on the road by late April or May to get most of the bugs worked out for the Motorstate event in June.

I'll have to measure the rear for you, I can't remember what it ended up being. The rear wheels are 18x11 with 5.5 back spacing.

A few more pics.

That was my question, but after I posted I saw the front brackets already on the car.

Either way-->:thumbsup:
