Not much time for electronic entertainment lately........every spare minute has been dedicated to shelving the jackstands under Norwood.

Hotchkis anti-roll bar mounted and shimmed to eliminate bushing bind.....makes me wonder how many bars are installed with the bushing induced death grip.



New GW cross-shafts and delrin bushings.



Few of the fabricated press tools for the upper control arm bushings.



Majority of press related tooling.



Completed control arms with ProForged ball joints and GW bushings installed.



ProForged tie rod ends and billet couplers ready for installation. The ProForged parts are exceptionally nice pieces for the dollar and in the case of the idler arm previously installed, it was every bit the quality of the Moog piece but allowed the needed header clearance. The Moog idler was pinned against the header tube which would have lead to very premature failure as the internal bushing is synthetic.



New digital camber/caster gauge and homemade adapter.



New home fabricated class III laser alignment tool.



A LOT of work and head-scratching.........and shim changes.
