She's going to be a nice car, keep up the good work.
Thanks guys!

Carl, It's a swing arm suspension. (glorified super strong ladder bar)They have been used with great success in the Pro modified ranks. The only thing I did different is put heim joints in the front to have some adjustablity. With the small tires we have to run along with the power I will have, I thought it would work well. I think I'm the first and only guy to try it in the 10.5 stuff. I have a lot of people waiting to see if it works. Hero or zero right? lol

On the spindles, I did not build steering arms yet because I was not 100% sure where the rack was going to end up and I did not want to have a lot of bump steer spacer between the tie rods and the steering arms. Good eye though!
