Now the fun stuff....Once I got the rear end mocked up I was able to actually air the car up and down....oh baby !!!

This is the probable ride height. It will get fully dialed in once the car is all loaded up, but this should be real close. Its based on the Ridetech recommended shock length at ride height. Its also going to depend on if I got the BS on the front wheels nailed or not.... I wanted to be able to turn the car but not have the wheels sucked in real far. I'd love to drop it a tad more in front. At this ride height I have 6 inches at the engine crossmember and 5 at the frame

Today I worked on making a trans crossmember. Since the trans is raised, I have to make my own. I'm using part of the original crossemember and adding some 1.5x 2.5 0.125 square tube. I spent a couple of hours trying one idea and I wasnt happy with it, so gonna try a diff design tomorrow.
