I'd really like to hear George Carlin's perception of tow hooks on a car of this caliber.

Sieg you might be right. The dirty little truth is that the fronts may rub at that ride height.

Glad to see it all coming together. Now the fun begins.

NorCal Shelby event up here at Sonoma in August????

Hey Jeff! Man it's been four years. I've trailered this car so many places it's a joke. This car will get driven home. It's about 120 miles and I'm looking forward to it. Might even take the long way home

Sonoma sounds awesome!

I'm thinking suspension travel. .5" up will nail the stance and increase shock travel.

Exciting times!

So that's a funny story. I bucked the trend and ordered longer shocks than what RT thought they should be and what others with the same year/subfr are running. 4.1" of travel with a 10" spring and a 1.67 motion ratio. Originally the car sat high. Sort of like 4x4 high and I'm saying to myself "I f'd up again!" I was ready to and had designed an upper shock relo mount, as my LCA was pointing downhill a couple of degrees. Matt kept telling me to just wait and get the car loaded. I'm also aware good springs don't settle much. But the Hyprecos did. The car is at 23.5" at the center of the wheel to the bottom of the front fender. Same as some guys running the .5" shorter shock. I'm hoping I get plenty of travel...

Ron, your springs haven't settled (yet). Your car just got fatter while it was away.

Ron, Effin A. Major congrats from up here. Can't wait to see her and HEAR her. I'm scared of the k rail at Sonoma too, but we may have to show some restraint just because......

Yep, getting fatter by the day. Oh wait, the car, lol. I may stop by Rob's on the way home and corner weight it. Knowing me, that'll take oh about four hours

Ev not sure about Fontana. I need to do some prep yet I'd like to sort it out once at least once before Fontana.
