My chassis guy sent me a pic last night, thought I'd share.

The stance is sick. Id try to get the tire set well enough so you can roll it like that..not just for the pics. Slammed for the win!!

It should be pretty close to this stance. I only have 5" of stroke on the shocks.

If you have the tools and know how, that's the only way to go in my opinion. I wish i had the tools and skills to do it myself.

Yea, I have never done one but I am not scared to do it myself. I have done plenty of cutting and welding in my time. Lol.

It sure increases your tire and wheel choices.

I had to run some bolts and some gear lube to James B today so I snapped a few pics.

Looks awesome, the only thing I would have done different is gone with a bigger antiroll. Those small anti rolls will bend when your making big power.

That's Team Z's Xtreme Duty one. I wish I had talked to my chassis guy before I had bought all of this stuff because he said the same thing. If I bend it I'll have him make me a big one. Dave at Team Z said it should hold up, I guess we'll see.

I am sure I will just buy someone else's old chassis already done up like that before I spend that kind of money, that thing looks more and more hard core every time you post some pics of it.

That's probably what I should have done but I am enjoying watching it come together too. He has a 25.5 spec car he is trying to sell. A customer started it and decided he didn't want it any more. He is selling it for what he's got in it which is $6k.

His # is 972-754-3323. The car is a hatch and has a fiberglass front end and doors, a carbon fiber wing, front is all tube chassis and nice drop spindles and suspension. The car is worth a lot more than $6k I think. Tell him Eddie told you about the car he has for sale.

Picked up the rear end from the powder coater today. Looks good for a rear end housing I guess. No one will ever see it really. Lol
