Mark,

In case you missed it, here is a shot of a 12 bolt Lateral Dynamics 3 link in action, at the 2011 Targa Newfoundland. My driver is coming out of a corner in a residential sector of Gander. The suspension really works, especially in the rain !



Good luck with the sale and thanks again for the excellent design.

That..... Is..... Completely..... FANTASTIC!!!! I hadn't seen that shot. I recall working with Matt on the rear end one Sunday afternoon, was the only 12 bolt 3 Link we made, so the team could fit into a specific rule/class for the Targa. That picture put a smile on my face and has me giggling all afternoon, thanks for sharing, and thanks for the endorsement!!!! Glad to see you are enjoying the car and product.

Thanks, really, thanks a million!

Oh Vince...... There is another 3-Link project just waiting for you, can you hear it calling????

Did not want to hijack the thread, but I guess it will be called a bump instead.

My upper link has the pinion angle at 2 degrees up since my engine is two down. We had to cut the link and shorten it because, as we were warned, mine was a prototype "one off", and may not be as perfected as the Ford 9 inch version.

Hi folks,

Just wanted to update this sale offer. I have had a lot of interest in the car but no one purchasing so far. I haven't been pushing it at all though, other than replying to pm's and e-mails, very consumed with work.

On top of that, my wife had a serious medical emergency just over two weeks ago, and while she will most likely be fine, it has really opened our eyes on everything in our current lives, definitely a shock that has us both evaluating everything. So, we have decided to dramatically drop the price of the car in order to move it out of our lives, and into a happy new project owner. Actually downsizing a LOT of things, which is healthy for us, it's not about the money as much as it is about simplifying - we were extremely lucky with this episode and realize that life is really short, and we want to live it to the fullest starting today.

New sale price - $15k, firm. Yes, it is a tough market right now, but the car is worth far more than this regardless. I'd probably crush it before taking less, so unless you have a very compelling offer below this, don't offer.

Thanks, hug your family and tell them you love them.
Mark

Also still have the 68 Satellite......

I'll reply to all of the PM's tomorrow in order. For everyone, here is a very high level overview of the car in teh spirit of full disclosure:

Crisp, clean body completed by Best of Show Coachworks includes following work:
• Fresh sheet metal throughout, new fenders, door skins, quarter panels, steel cowl hood, front and rear valence, etc. Factory floors are rust free.
• Re-pop RS nose perfectly fitted and finished, mating line for upper and lower pieces has been smoothed. All new chrome, urethane nose, etc.
• Smoothed firewall painted body color.
• Painted in 2006 Corvette “Monterrey Red Metallic.” Paint is gorgeous, really pops under the sun, and goes straight dark in off light. Straight, excellent gaps and fitment, super nice work. Incredible.
• Undercarriage is undercoated.
• Car has been mini-tubbed to accept 335 rear tires under stock quarters.
• Car has a full set (all four windows) of new glass in boxes needing installation. Includes brand new power window regulators.
• New front and rear bumpers, front and rear light trim, lenses, etc.
Suspension and other items:
• Lateral Dynamics 3-Link Rear suspension installed. Car is currently fitted with a demo (fully functional) rear housing, new housing is 95% fabricated and only needs final welding. Will include all new bushings and rod ends, etc.
• Rear end has axles for 59.5 hub to hub width. Does NOT have third member.
• Front frame has been completely seam welded on jig, and powder coated. Setup for coil over front shocks with upper mounts similar to the units developed by ATS. Has Lateral Dynamics UCA’s. Currently sits on old stock LCA’s. Stock spindles. Some steering gear included (Idler and Pitman arms, etc).
• “Street” six point roll cage. Cage will not meet the specific requirements of NASA or SCCA due to bend in main hoop. Cage was fit as tight as possible to the roof for maximum headroom. Bolt on “through bars” from firewall to front frame. DOM .120” wall tubing used.
• Front and rear lights, outer door handles, other small items also included.
What it needs to be completed:
• Front suspension could be completed by simple modification of aftermarket tubular LCA’s, required for lower coil over mounting points.
• Steering box and remainder of tie rods, etc. are needed.
• Alternative would be to install complete aftermarket front frame such as DSE, etc.
• Needs shocks and springs. Needs all brakes including M/C, etc.
• Full drivetrain needed. Does not include driveshaft, etc.
• Needs third member, 31 spline axles included.
• Many of the original interior pieces are included for fitment, etc, but all would need to be refurbished or replaced.

Thanks,
Mark
