    Your car has evolved quite a bit since you first started. I have never seen a car go through so many changes in such a short period of time. Everything you have done has been first class craftmanship. I can not wait to see what changes next. Great job on everything. (y) My hat is off to you Joe!

    is the aje kit just drag race orientated or do they look into the handling ability in turns? basically i want to know if it works for auto crossing?

    I wouldn't have any idea bryant, there real nice to talk to on the phone may try calling them and discussing what you wanted to do with it, imo I think it would hold up fine . I just used there k memeber and a arms for my project as I'm trying to use more affordable and easier to obtain fox/sn95 mustang suspension and brake parts, along with max engine compartment space vs buying there custome struts and camber plates which fall around 1300.00+. To help ease anything I may decide to do in the future.

    Very nice work! I really like the idea of using the upper portion of the mustang shock towers. Very clean as well.

    On a side note, it amazes me at what you accomplish in the gravel and outside...:bowdown:
