i havent been on here recently, Ive been over on PT.com.
here are some updates. i put in a ford 9" with 4.11 gears. im keeping the stock suspension for now. but i lowered it 2.5" and put bolt on traction bars. what a difference switching from 2.80 gears.
when i put in the housing i welded the upper third link on, with the new lower ride height i had to cut the trunk a little to get some bump travel. the leaf pads are clamp on with 1/2-20 shear bolts threaded into the housing. this way when i switch to the 3link i dont need to cut the pads off.
i have just been driving it and having fun. its rolling on 245 tires on all corners. thats the widest you can fit in that car.
It won a trophy at the monthly car show "best under construction" WOOHOO. that was rewarding.
