Brian, this is a fantastic looking project so far! Maier is obviously well known in the Mustang world, neat to see that it translates over to the Chev's too. I really like the approach of the front spindles, in a previous life we had intentions of developing a very similar piece but scrapped the idea, looking back I wish I wouldn't have changed my mind. These look to be fab'd out of 3/16" plate cold roll steel? Very nice, very functional.

In the CP rule set, using the front frame is required to prevent a weight penalty, but obviously you can change the suspension. How about the steering gear? Could you, if you chose, run a rack in place of the box and not get hit with a weight penalty?

Sure I'll have other questions, but have to run. Really awesome, thanks for sharing the progress.

Mark
