oh wow how did I miss this? Let me know if you want to move to a turnbuckle style rear camber arm. I can dig up my parts list and send over a couple dxfs for laser cutting.

Been knocking out more work on this thing like crazy.

Front sway bar just barely fits in there 

Mounted the PS cooler in an almost stock fashion 

Relocated the upper control arms down and cut off the extra material above that for extra room to get a steering shaft in there 

Finally finished the torque arm. And have now started in on the wiring nightmare

Nearly 40hrs into wiring this thing and just beginning to see the light at the end of tge tunnel.

Almost done with the rear of the car. Should be down to remotes and center console stuff by the end of the day. Hopefully enough to put the interior back in.

Progress has been made at the front. Even made nice closeout panels to replace the rusted out lower fender areas.

Front end went back on last night. Quick fabrication of a bash bar so there's actually some crash protection on this thing.

Nice work! 

I bet you're itching to get back to work on the new tube frame car...
