Very cool, Ron. Will Deadpool be the street/show car while this one is the track car? Good luck!

This is intended to be a track car Rick. It's possible it'll have license plates though

The set-up would work well on either street or track. The shock and spring package as well as ride height would be the only limiting factors for the street. The benefit of this design is great articulation that puts the power down under acceleration and good contact patch when braking. It's also fully adjustable for roll center and set up tuning.

Merry Xmas Bro

Hey Trey! This is a slowburn project and I'll continue sorting / tuning DP for track duty when I can.

I can't wait to watch this, as I'm interested in Ron's setup as well. I have a question about the housing below, specifically the brakes. That looks a lot like the setup Speedtech (I think it was them) was putting together a couple of years ago which used the C6 bearing as an alternative to a full-floating brake setup. Can you give any more specifics?

It's a one off, frankenstein sorta deal Bryan. No more complete kit parts available for this I'm told. Best bet would be to contact Blake.

Doesn't DSE sell a version too? I remember Tommy had a version right before Steilow released his version. Interesting kit if you want a floater.

I know DSE had one in development. Not sure if they worked with Mark on that but wouldn't be surprised. Looking at Mark's, I really like the improvements he made in the axle end placement.

The one above is derived from Tom's original design, I think. I had heard a couple of different versions of that story. He did not manufacture the housing ends as far as I know.

So that means DP was a fast-burn project then?

That timescale would put the completion date somewhere around the end of 2022.
