Looking great!

The car will definitely take everyone by surprise in your area. I wish I lived nearby to witness the jaw dropping :D

The only questions I have is how much tuning will the rear suspension geometry require, have you thoroughly checked for binding throughout the travel, and are all the mount points sufficiently gusseted for the forces they will see?

Thanks.

There is absolutely no binding in the link set up. When I installed it I brought it through full droop and bottomed it out before I welded it off, which is WAY more travel than that suspension will ever see. The pinion angle also stays set at 0 the whole time. I spent alot of time on that to make sure. I did gusset the upper shock/link tower and also boxed it in along with gussets on all the brackets and tabs. I will probably add a plate from that bar to the bottom of the car where a pinion snubber would hit. I will also tie the rear of the cage into the link to reinforce it some more. Turbodart68 "Chris suggested that one", I may need to change the ends of the links at some point to Heim's also.

Someone said that a link set up like this is only good to 10.50 1/4 mile times, well my goal is to stomp that MYTH!:-D
