Project Frog Princess
Here's the slot cut into the frame with some reinforcement ready to have a spring slider mounted. The reason for the slot in the frame is to keep the car low. This idea was shamelessly stolen from youngun2.0 on this site. Hey I figure if you put it here its fair game. To decide where to mount them fore and aft, I marked the spring eye position on the frame in relaxed state, then loaded the spring until straight, and made another mark. The slider was then positioned so there's about an extra 1/2" travel beyond the straight position. This gives at least an inch of forward travel forward from the relaxed position. That's in case I decide to do some Dukes of Hazard style jumping.
