Ron, keep thinking as long as it's taking you to build this car, by the time you're finished, everyone will be racing one of these. LMAO

I am only one guy, with a big family and 10 cars. Its a wonder I get anything done. I did get my uppers moved, wwwaayy easier then the lowers, I just had to redrill the holes into the Sutton special place. I welded 1"x1/4" fat bar to the outside of the control arm mounts, just to give some support with the holes the close together.

Just teasing you Ron. Keep up the good work.

"Frankenstude" took 7 years to complete. When I wrote the article, I used the phrase from "Young Frankenstein"...... "OH Sweet Mystery of Life at Last We've Found You". LOL

Holy wheel travel Batman, that tire is hitting everything in the Batcave. A lot of work to do here.

At ride height it doesn't look so crazy, from droop to full compression, it has 6.5" of travel. Is all up into the sheetmetal, hope I can pull this off.

wheel turning issues means one thing: vehicle purpose change. Make it a land racing missile with a TT LSX.

Looking forward to seeing how you make this work.

Bump stops are your friend Ronnieson.

57hemicuda · #**729** 03-02-2016, 02:52 AM

I will be running bump stops, but if I don't get every inch of travel available to me, My teacher, Mr. Sutton will smack me on the back of the hand with a ruler.

Ron,

Glad to see your back on the car! Suspension is looking great, don't worry about the tire clearance, a couple of good tugs on the steering wheel and she will make room ha ha. Need to catch up with ya, I'll give you a call soon.
