well time is just flying by and this project has taking on a life of it's own! why do I continue to make things so complicated.??? this frame design has changed thanks to reading some pages from Ron Sutton and his wisdom of tuning suspension. I decided to do a 3 link and a watts link to make it a bit more adjustable too! I don't know anything I am just making this up as I go!

There is project creep and now we need a new name for the project _ _ _ _ _ redesign

Great ingenuity and fabrication on this build. If all this cool custom work was easy, then everyone would do it, and it wouldn't be cool or custom anymore. Your car will be unique and bad @ss when it's done. Keep it up.

Looking great Eric!
You should be able to fit some serious rubber under the rear of that car.

I hope your right! looking for room to stuff the 335 20's under the wheel wells. there was definitely easier ways to do this ! i never claimed to be smart though!

This is a small example of how stupid I can be at times! this pict. is from a couple of years ago pulled a ford 9" out from behind the garage and cut all the brackets off to make it fit in the chevelle chassis after more fitting found out the pinion was offset 2" so it was not going to work! ended up ordering a new rear from Moser with all the brackets welded on to fit s a direct bolt in! sweet right?

fast forward to present time. lets cut the brackets off the rear to make a custom 3 link and lets make a custom frame as long as were at it!
