Sorry for the delay, folks. Lot of business travel. Took last week to get caught up on the house. Momma bought us a new toy, so getting it up to shape for the 4th. http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l543/autotr8er/Mobile%20Uploads/Baja.jpg

 

Summer High Heat and unseasonably Rainy days have drastically slowed me down.

 

The rear suspension is still in the scratching my head phase.

 

I'll have more soon.

Here is the cantilever part I'm going to use for the rear suspension. Not sure if it's going to last. Borrowed the idea from Robert Jackson (Convette's Optima teammate). I'll give it a go.

It's from a Yamaha R1

Here is what I've come up with so far in mounting the rear cantilever setup. These are the mounts.

Getting these Laser cut. Should be awesome. Hope my welds will do it justice. Heh, heh

HOLY S*** I just read this thread and just blew my mind, I love the modesty need more of you in this world. I too would like to keep my starion for a very long time and this is inspiration at its finest.

Thank you, Brother. I appreciate the support. I'm working to get the suspension set up so I can get the body welded to the frame. The floor will go in prior to that. As far as inspiration, I can thank all the previous LS swappers, especially Convette. I'm blaming him exclusively for all of this. HAHA. Looking forward to being the second conquest chasing the Optima Challenge. Edited by autotr8er2
