Got a little more time to start fitting this setup. Weird I don't think I will have to move one bar to make it work. Still a fair amount of trimming to do, but its getting closer.

Slowly pecking at it, loving the, torque arm / decoupled 3 link combo in this car. You know I'm going to try them both. I will post driving impressions of both when it's done.

The designing and work your putting into this is amazing. Very Nice.

Housing brackets semi-fitted, wanted to have at least one of the brackets land on an axle tube. The housing is cast steel and is weldable, but makes me feel better with one on the tube. Still have alot of gussets to make up for the brackets, but its still cleaner then I thought it would be.

Their obviously aren't near enough bars in this car, so I figured it needed at least a few more. Boom!!

Rear mounts are pretty much made, Just got the front numbers this weekend. So outcome the sawzall and plasma cutter. I see a lot of time wasted with me in a chair trying to figure a cool way to make these LCA mounts.

Hey Ron

Why'd the thought cross my mind that someone always wanted a Jungle Gym when they were a kid and never got one? :sieg:

Have to move the LCA mounts up about an inch, so I made mounts that would not only support the engine, but also retain the lower control arms. I'll hopefully get the brackets finished tomorrow.

As far as the Jungle Gym goes, I have to agree, I fear I will weld myself into a cage. LOL
