got a little bit more done tonight. Me and a buddy bent up the main hoop for the cage. It fits a little tighter the the one that was in the car before.

Been making some progress on the cage and rear suspension. Itsa slow process building and designing a rear suspension that will work and be legal to the rules.

thanks, for the kind words. I was able to get the watts link mount fully welded to the rear. now just need to weld the outer arm mounts to the lower frame rail.

Did you design the front suspension, or buy something and adapt it?

it is a one off custom, built around specs I want in my front geometry. the stock geometry goes to crap when you start to really lower the car.
