some CalTracs may help with that 60-ft.
Can understand not wanting to put an auto in, especially an original K-code car. But, picking up a .5 in the 1/8 and/or 1/4 may change his mind! ;) Beautiful car.

Yep, I was there yesterday with the mustang. Did you see it?
No caltracs. Im running slapper bars and some secret mods to the springs. But i really think its the trick front suspension i designed that really allows the weight transfer.My build thread: https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...ing&highlight=

working on a new rear suspension for this. Combined with the design work I have done to my falcon this will be a great multi usage setup. And will be a bolt in kit with minor mods to the chassis. I cant cut up a k-model too much HAHA.

I guess I havent really been keeping this thread up to date. Lots of things are changing with this car.
Thanks to Jon at driverzinc I will have some new pieces coming in next week.
The SS4 brakes from baer (thanks again Frank) are awesome huge improvement, 100% better than the stock drums. ANd they fit inside the magnesium 14" wheels.
I am also going to be designing a new rear suspension. Yes I know its drag but its still cool!My build thread: https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...ing&highlight=
