I still have to change the front mountings for the
lower 4 link bars.
I half welded the RHS top shock mount and dummied it up.
When the rest is welded I'll put in extra gussets etc.
The lower lateral stabilizer is in the works but I kinda
stole with my eyes on that one. Speed Demonish!!!!.

I have the tube for the anti roll bar being machined
along with the slider for the lower stab.

In the meantime I'm being Pro Modded. :evil: :evil: :evil:
Tough job but I love the challenge.
Making a rear wing that will no doubt double as a push bar
so it's going to be strong for all the right reasons.
End plates first.

I hope all the stuff I'm making fits the chassis??????. :-D

If it's good enough for SD then it should be for me!.

It's the one with the sliding bar but will run under the shaft.

Doing a little body work in between the other stuff.
Engine cover is going to get fairing paste etc. :-D :-D :-D

I've figured what to do with the bucks when they come in!!!!.
Blow it all on the liner. That way when the mower breaks or a window needs replacing I can just shrug it off
and say I'm broke. :dhorse:

This is one of the setups used in the previous car & as seen here ended up with solid links in place of coil overs.

One less excuse to limit progress.

Seems that you shouldn't sleep for

Some guy involved with shipping those probably said "Why the heck does this guy want bald tires?"  That is a great thing for Marlo and crew to do.
