Aaaahhh!!! THAT makes more sense. I was wondering why they were shaped so oddly and I could still see a bit of the inside tire. Hahaha.

Is this a pure race car? You must have amazing roads in Australia!

Street car. Why do you ask that regarding our roads? It has full suspension travel and 100mm ground clearance so it actually has more clearance than just a normally lowered Camaro.

Haha I see what you did there! Yep it's on the move and hopefully can keep on track and get it finished. No more deviations. Quick question for you Blake. Can I run a 7" back space on the front without any clearance issues such as rubbing on subframe or hitting sway bar?

One hundreds mm of ground clearance won't make it in a parking lot with speed bumps...at least in the US...

Speaksy got a bit more done this week. Rear outer tubs finished up with 5mm rod welded on outside lip.

Pie cuts in rails all welded up and put a small notch in rails too. Welded in a sleeve where the bolt location is on the front hanger for link arms. This will allow us to be able to remove the arms without the need to remove leaf spring pocket too. Will weld pocket to the floor once in final position.
