What all did you do to the bump stop area where the cut was made?

Welded caps on the openings, then, welded the seam around the cut out area.

No offense, but I have been 1.29 60' on afco coilover's on motor off the footbrake. The coilover design was not your problem.

Good luck with the rest of the build.

Axles and axle bearing retainers have arrived. Had .625" studs installed. Getting brake brackets lazer cut to be welded on the housing for the radial brake mount.

Working on a 10 gallon fuel cell that stock Evap can be used on. It will be a direct bolt in tank and you use your existing Evap components.
