Thumbs up Back to the car!

Ok on to some updates on the car instead of me! Thank you all for the well wishes though, things are moving along and I've started treatment. So far, so good everything has been going well.

So, I've been on a quest for the last few years (well since I built the car initially) to get bigger tires under it. 315's all around. After discussing options with Mr. Sutton, we came up with a plan to do just that. I had a few sacred cows those being: use my Forgeline wheels (widened of course), keep the back seat, not modify the exterior body. Other than massaging some fender lips, we're good on all counts so far!

Step One, disassemble:


Step Two, mock up big tars!


Some of these pictures are from some time ago as I've been working on and off the project for a while. So most likely, some may be out of chronological order sorry.

RSRT supplied the front clip (TA2 if I remember correctly, Ron please confirm) with all the trimmings as well as the data for me to build the rear suspension from a design that I did from scratch. As a lot of you know, I don't have the engineering company that I was partners in anymore, well since January 1st of 2017... So thankfully I had the design pretty much wrapped up in detail before then, the only real issue is I don't have access to the CNC machines to make the cool parts now! I'll figure out something as I only need a few items now.

I'm trying Google images instead of photobucket as I've not been happy with it really. So the images come in big! And videos I can only get to work as a link, not embedded. Anyway, here is some detail on the front RSRT clip:
