Default 25.2 complete *pics inside*

Thank you Bob and Jay at NRC!!! You guys are awesome, you did a complete 25.2 (ripped out my old cage), gears and a bunch of other misc stuff in less than a month!!

Thank you Madman for resolving my shock problem and taking care of it right away! Now I've got me the good Afco's!!!! Thank you!

I will be picking up the car next week from Bob is South Carolina and it's back to Cartek where everything is going together and FINALLY get ready for racing!

cage looks great

guess you're not planning on running stock suspension....looks like your provisions for a panhard rod are gone...that and moving your shocks to the rear...

pretty much every stock suspended class allow coil overs in another location, and wish bone is a track locator,none say its not allowed [nor does it effect the suspension] lower arms still in stock location on body,and still has torque arm [ so begins another ss discussion]

I don't recall seeing an undercar shot so I dunno.

Call me a stock suspension purist

moving shocks to the other side of the rear and changing a panhard for a wishbone are significant changes...
