      Its on the ground

      Woo! haha. Off to the tin man on saturday. Get my tranny tunnel built.

      Much lower in person, about 3" ground clearance on the front crossmember.





      I decided to add SC&C's upper control arms with the aluminum adjusters. I also did the VariShocks. Installing is a bit different(gotta split the ball joint to get em in) but no biggy. The adjustments are pretty killer.

      I copied Dennis' setup(well not part for part but close;) ) so...

      Coleman Racing Fabricated Spindles
      Impala rotors/hubs
      Outlaw billet aluminum 4 pot calipers
      straped and braced lower control arms
      Steel/nylon bushings on the lowers
      650lb springs with tall adjuster
      stock sway bar
      heim joint tie rod ends

      The rear consists of.....

      the stock 8.5 10 bolt
      stud girdle
      373 gears
      My own pieced together lower control arms
      My own built panhard bar mounts(axle side is a speedway kit)
      BAER 12" disk kit

      I built it on a budget. Then again, I raised complete hell with the car last summer. It was a blast. I know my car has rust, I don't care, I'm building the car to beat the piss out of it. Paint doesn't lower my track times.
      I will say though... This set-up is pretty low. I'm worried about how practical it will be. I plan on driving it 800km's to a show this summer(plus a summer spot I always go to) so we will see. The softer rates of the springs and varishocks should help me out some.

      Heres a few extra pics. I'll post more when I get back.
