What have I gotten myself into?

That could be very cool! Sounds spendy (I did some pricing on the bigger wheel/tire combos - ouch!) Remember we do want to see this project actually completed... in our lifetimes :)
Don't get me wrong, your ideas are awesome and you are making great progress!

I've been checking it out too thankfully I have the advantage of a tirerack wholesale account. I need to keep moving or I lose interest which is why the car sat for so long. I will however FINISH the front end and set ride height before scrapping the rear end tubs as they sit. No point in doing it over if I can't get the front low enough to need the back dropped.
