    I currently have en route to my door :
    Rear frame rails from S&W Race cars
    Split mono leaf springs from Calvert
    Smith Racecraft perches and Assassins
    To go along with the sliders and front spring eye mounts that I got from Speedway Motors.
    In the words of the immortal Jerry Reed "We got a long way to go and a short time to get there."
    I'll do my best to advise how any and all of this hardware works out.

    It'll work out just fine ;) Any time frame on when you think you'll be ready? And btw...if you need any miscellaneous bars bent or anything, I've got a tubing bender. I have 1 5/8", 1 1/2", and 1 1/8" dies...

    Thanks, Maxx. This is the most intensive fab work I have ever done by far, so it will be a learning experience. Hope to be able to run most of the season at CMP, but I'm way behind schedule already. Still have to notch shock towers and build the engine, too. A warm up would sure help, so I could work in the evening without having to heat the garage.

    I'll take plenty of pictures. If my novice welding doesn't come out too bad, I may start a project thread and share 'em.:camera:
