So I got a bunch more materials delivered last night. McMaster and the local metal place have been my friends recently. Hopefully the watts cradle will be mounted to the car this weekend. Then I cant start working on the chassis mount for the upper link. I still have not finalized my pick up points. I need to sit down with the excel spread sheet I design and determine mounting points.

If you’re suggesting sending men with weapons of war to take my weapons of war,then I’m fairly certain that’s what’s called an act of war… and the definition of tyranny.which coincidentally is the reason for the second amendment to begin with!

Update:
Here are some more pictures of the watts cradle. The fab work is almost done. Just need to weld it up and bolt it into the car. The watts cradle is up side down and all the pieces are just sitting there.

I finished my rear suspension geometry.
Here are my pick up points.
Height from ground Distance forward from axle centerline
Centered upper link, axle 19.25" 0"
Centered upper link, chassis 18.0" 12"
Lower links, axle 9.375" 0"
Lower link, chassis 9.375" 22.5"
This set up results in 57% antisquat and a IC length of 81"
If I lower the axle side of the lower link 1.25" it will have 92% A/S and 63" IC
If I lower the axle side another 1.25" it will be 119% and 54" IC.
If I go back to a horizontal LCA and lower the UCA 1" then I will have 96% A/S and 49" IC and keep my zero degree roll axis angle.
So i plan on making the chassis mount of the UCA slotted in the vertical direction to dial in the A/S for handling (autocross) then adjust the LCA axle mount when I need to go drag racing.
The carboard is coming out so I can make templates for the chassis side UCA mounts.My build thread: https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...ing&highlight=

I got back from SEMA late last night. Wow what a good time. I have a lot more ideas and meet a lot of cool people! AFCO wants some pictures of my front suspension I have designed. Varishock has a reasonabley priced 4 way adjustable shock and an electronic controller for shock valving. Wilwood has a 11" internal drum parking brake that should fit inside the mustangs 14" wheels. Lots of awesome cars!
Now I have to start working on my car again.My build thread: https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...ing&highlight=
