If its not mandatory Greg, it should be. What happens if you need to get out and adjust your kids car seat at V.I.R., or need to vacuum all the dirt out of the car after an offroad adventure like Jeff Cleary always needs to do. A chunk of 2x4 just ain't cool.

Thanks guys!

Some parts have been used and some have been new. My braking system is all new stuff and so is all of the suspenion. As an expample, the rods that I have for the motor are $3600 new. I got them from Roush with 3 test dyno pulls when they were working on bore and stroke combinations...$600.
Do you consider that used or tested? I call it a bargin.

Ron Sutton is working with me for front and rear suspension design and car set-up.

Which goes right into my next few pictures of the decoupled 3 link mock up. Sutton took my information and made a blueprint for the install. After installing the housing mount I had see what it looked like.

My leaf spring car is just looking older and older by the day.... You're killing me PK! LOL


Oh -- but mine runs and gets tracked -- so I have that going for me.... :>)


When this bad boy is done -- You - me - RS - DG - SS and my buddy Andy - we're coming east to run some of those big boy tracks! I'll bring the cars and the boys can come for the weekend... Mostly because I always wanted to "run" with some "NASCAR" cars.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Payton - Damn nice recovery since your discovery of the limousine wheelbase. :thumbsup:

You going to have wedge and trackbar adjusters in the rear window?

Thrift car
 
Payton,
very cool stuff.. you can actually see the angles Ron and the boys
talk about in real life fabrication

I thought my cutting the swaybar and adding new tabs was
an undertaking.. not even close
