Thanks Extreme!

Did these ever get mounted?

there's a wealth of knowledge and support here. I'm Rooting for you

congrats!

No worries. I'm concerned as well. It's gonna be ground breaking, though.

yep. They are staying.

WOW!!! So, What do you think?

Bummer

It's going to be unique! Haven't quite figured out the fenders. I'll get the mechanics of the drive line and the a form follows function with a twist of awesome styling. I'll try to keep the look of the original lines of the car. It's what I love best.

Now need to design the upper mount http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l543/autotr8er/Mobile%20Uploads/E666C0F5-6125-432C-88C8-A1E6E66A0046.jpg

Thanks! Metal Mayhem in Florida did the work.

You can upload the pic to photo bucket and paste the link here. I just noticed you did some work on it. I didn't notice it till now. So you still have it?

Here are the lower shock mounting brackets. Whoot Whoot! http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l543/autotr8er/Mobile%20Uploads/292255C1-CF3B-42BC-9521-E4828ED6FEE6.jpg Perfect fit!

Simply Awesome!!!!

That is plan B.2. LOL I thought about using a logo themed brace. Great thinking. I'm still a long way from finalizing the design. Things are going to move slow here in a week. I'll be traveling to Brazil for a week. Hope to find some car culture. Then SEMA!!! I'm sure to get some great inspiration there. Again, I appreciate all the feedback i get here. It keeps me motivated.

Thanks! I'm trying. LOL

I take all feedback constructively. It's how I learn. No worries

I've given it a lot of thought. I agree, to make it strong enough to not bend will require a heavier link. Don't want to do that. It'll add to the unsprung weight. I'm sure it looks hokey but I'm confident it would have worked. Course, I don't like hokey looking stuff, either. There'll be a design change. I have to get the suspension where I can get a rolling chassis for now. I have something in mind already. So it will be different. I appreciate the input guys. Richard
