I'm sure he'd be happy to share that list of with you....

So before the "love" gets too deep I've got a serious question. The center frame section is new, are the rear rails? CorteX originally installed the watts and TA, is that all getting reworked? I know you've been in discussions with Ron Sutton.

Ok back to our regular shenanigans.
Happy New Year DG! What shops have you got in mind for this year? :lmao:

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.

Ron Sutton on line 2.... gotta go. :stirthepot:

All Payton, and I can say is: You are welcome!!!! LOL

DG,

It looks like you are using the JRS axle housing, possibly modified to use floating brakes. I can't tell from these angles if you kept the JRS coilover and LCA mounts or replaced them?

And I presume that crossmember is the torque arm mount? What is the front mount going to be? Rod end, or will you use the 'football' style that JRS provided?

Finally, I spy a little Ron Sutton influence with the adjustable Watts mount in those pics. I really like the one Eric and I installed!

Keep 'em coming!

The coilover and LCA mounts are a mixture of parts. Some of the simple stuff from Jake was just fine to use. Same with Cortex.

The X member is the torque arm mount yes with a removable section to allow for trans removal. The length of the new TA mandated this. The Cortex or and possibly the JRS piece would not have. Not sure what the front mount will end up on yet.

And yes Sutton is involved very much at this point. His watts link adjuster is such a neat piece.

I have just told Jim to use what he approves of in strength and design, or scrap it and build/source if otherwise.

TA design and install should be next. Then attachment of subframe to the "tank" :stirthepot:

I challenge you to show me something on this site that isn't subject to change.

P.S. How's the fire sale going? That sounds like quite a .... change. :lol:

True dat, but he'll probably be at 400K page views in a few hours...so we're obviously not a very discriminating bunch.

:D
