What are the wheel/tires sizes going to be? Are you going to use Ride Tech's Tru Turn up front?

Nice work!

Wheels are 10" and 11"...not sure on the Tru Turn...the front "clip" was supplied by our customer so I'm not exactly sure what all is included in the set-up and the clip in tucked away currently as the body in on a rotisserie in the body shop...but I'll try and let you know when we pull it back out.

in that a photo of you using a spot welder to shrink the metal ?
or is something else going on there ?

If you are shrinking, do you use a wet rag or what after you zap ? Curious about your technique there.

Yes, you are correct...we were using the spot welder to shrink the metal...we would cool the metal with compressed air at each hit.
