    Looks Sweet!!!


    I am wondering though with IRS is the body roll and downward travel enough so body does not contact tires under hard conering etc....Those jag rearends look like a good fit though. I always hated putting brakes on those. Not really hard but harder than a normal job. Goodluck. As i have said before a true craftsman.

    Like the front wheels they arc so the top of the wheel moves in and clears the fender. Tammy's rear wheels rubbed the fenders until I moved the bump stops down. I'll post a picture of this later

    Sometimes I would just kick myslef if i could.Hence the long arm short arm idependent suspension. I bet that car will stick to to the road batter than any old vette when you are done.
