Huge fan of the car, I've been following the progress of this build on instagram


Really awesome car, I'm hoping to see the completed car at the cars and coffee at TI here soon.

With the links bolted in, the brackets tacked on the car can be put on the ground to check final tire fitment before we start the watts linkage.

Start of the watts linkage supports and mount. With the roll center height from 9 1/2" - 13 1/2" the center plate is drilled.

Rearend housing mounting tubes and braces welded in once the links were set.

Your wheel setup is seriously beefy! Glad to see this is getting the makeover that it deserves.

The work looks fantastic.

Thank you, I guess you are a Ford guy. I like the Blue Mustang you are building. The Falcons are so unique I was afraid it wasn't going to look right in pro-touring trim. But so far its exceeded my expectations as far as driving.

The one thing I was not sure about was the spoiler. When my fabricator pitched it to me I was on the fence. Especially when its a bolt on piece. Once its on it will need body work to reverse.

The one is actually designed for a Camaro and the Camaro trunk shape.

As far as width it was perfect because it lined up perfectly with the roof line.

Thank you!! We ended up with the 325/19's on a 19x12 wheel. The 345's are just so tall. The 325's visually look wider than the 345's.

I plan on doing a clutch swap the current McLeod is making noise. I'll be looking you guys up soon.
