Nice to finally see a 67 or 68 with the G-Link at ride height.

Very nice! Any reason why you install the g-link over DSE q-link? Less cutting?

Both are really great rear suspensions and I have projects with both in my shop as we speak.

The gross cost of having us install a Quadra link VS a G link is at minimum a couple grand more, depending on the project as much as $3000 more. By the time we uninstall the iterior to install the upper link pockets. Install the shock crossmember. Cut off the axle ends to slide on the brackets. We have a lot more labor in a Quadra link install then a G link install.

The G link can be installed from under the car. You do not even have to empty the trunk or remove interior. You do not have to cut off the axle ends. And I really like the adjustability for instant center and anti squat changes we can do with the G link.

Great Job Frank. I love the redlines!!

I'm in total agreement that sometimes it's just better to start with a painted car. It makes things go so much quicker and that makes a happy customer.

Nice job Frank!

Funny -- some of us were talking at length about this type of "build" vs the full on 4 year custom SEMA builds... that end up not being really used to their fullest because they took so long and cost so much... Nothing wrong with either "way". It was just a jaw flapping exercise. But I wonder how many people would be happier with a car they can go out and drive at track events and still be happy with the quality.

Hey -- is that doctor a Gynecologist?
