DG,

It looks like you are using the JRS axle housing, possibly modified to use floating brakes. I can't tell from these angles if you kept the JRS coilover and LCA mounts or replaced them?

And I presume that crossmember is the torque arm mount? What is the front mount going to be? Rod end, or will you use the 'football' style that JRS provided?

Finally, I spy a little Ron Sutton influence with the adjustable Watts mount in those pics. I really like the one Eric and I installed!

Keep 'em coming!

That is a JRS supplied housing. But it's Payton's. We traded since he is using a different one now and his original piece was more "matched" to what I am now doing.

The coilover and LCA mounts are a mixture of parts. Some of the simple stuff from Jake was just fine to use. Same with Cortex.

The X member is the torque arm mount yes with a removable section to allow for trans removal. The length of the new TA mandated this. The Cortex or and possibly the JRS piece would not have. Not sure what the front mount will end up on yet.

And yes Sutton is involved very much at this point. His watts link adjuster is such a neat piece.

I have just told Jim to use what he approves of in strength and design, or scrap it and build/source if otherwise.

TA design and install should be next. Then attachment of subframe to the "tank"

I challenge you to show me something on this site that isn't subject to change.

P.S. How's the fire sale going? That sounds like quite a .... change.

Well -- given the effort (which was to relabel my signature).... the results are commensurate to-date. In other words - zilch. This isn't a hot rod site - only a couple guys around here even know what one is... most have never driven one... and since it's not a real racer site - "the rig" might be a bit of overkill for most people that have one car.

So, in other words, you're half assing it... gotcha.
