Progress! . . ??

Well I have been slaving away on the car again today. To tell the truth though I can not tell if I am going forward or backwards!

What do you guys and gals think? Steph already gave me her answer LOL!

It looks good till you go up top again

The Inside has made a LITTLE progress

So what do you think? Will it be someday? Maybe in time for a trip to KC?

Well I took the nose off to take a few things out and mount a few others. While it is off it went to the painter for touch ups. . kinda.

Yeah yeah I know still using stock suspenion. I am thinking of re-enforcing the LCA mounting points thogh does that help

The Guy that desighned it is very adimat(sp) it is not

Ladder bars apply presure down on the tires and are the main link in moving the car forward. In a TQ arm system this arm only applies force to plant the tires and has no interaction with forward movment. THAT is the job of the LCAs

Looks like you have removed some serious weight there Ellis!!

But i think they might require fenders in your class.

Looks like you are making good progress.

Looking good. Will the foward non ladder bar, ladder mount be a speed bump catcher? Are you going to be ready for the 24th?

Here is todays update. I took a bit and I learned how to use my Duramax as a Tubing bender. I finally got it all tacked up and ready for welding. Then I decided I need one more tube added so I will finish that up tomorrow.

Any way here they are.
