Tim, what's the latest?

I need to talk to you about some of the parts you aren't using. Drop me an IM when you can.

This will be very close to the actual ride height. I wont know for sure until the engine and trans and everything is in it but this is my best guess so far. The rear suspension will have around 3" of travel down from ride height and one of the driveshaft loops is roughly 3 1/2" above the ground... it will only leave around 1/2" of clearance between the track and the frame while launching hard. It cant go much lower. What is the the stock measurement to the front of the side skirt? It has to be pretty close to this measurement...

I think you should get some bags. You can't go fast without some bags...

****... I only wish we could drink while working! But then the car would be all out of whack, nothing would be level and we would still be working on the main hoop!

Although Tim is pretty good at it.

Car is coming along good. Hopefully rolling soon!

Yeah its my downfall I suppose... Working on the car doesnt happen without alcohol. Guess that means I gotta stick with my own car for now Tonight was an exception but Im making up for it now!

Once again, things took much longer than I expected but I did finish the complete suspension on the driverside. Tomorrow for sure I will get the other side done. I havent mounted the hood to take measurements yet but I am guessing the cam gears may stick out of the hood vent... not sure how that will look. I may have to make my own hood. I also believe I will be making a new oil pan as it doesnt really seem the motor is gonna wanna fit to well. I should have it and the tranny mocked up this weekend for sure though so well see. Ill also try to take some pics of the front suspension all welded in tomorrow night.

I wish I lived close to you guys just to lend a free hand. It would be cool to play a part in such a project.
