Last night the car finally hit the floor. It's been on jackstands for 3 years now, so it was quite a momentous occasion. Here is the rear end on the ground:





I should mention, at this point in time the rear end still has the ability to steer! So it makes this thing easy to move around the garage



Obviously this is temporary. The C-clamps should do just fine for moving it around, but I put the zip ties on just as a safety precaution.

Here's my Boo Boo. I had a preview of this over a year ago, but I was beyond the point of no return, so I had to keep it going. The wheel is set back slightly, I'm guessing about 15mm. A longer wheelbase will be better for high speed stability anyway, right?! If I get too upset about it, I'll reshape the front inside edge of the fender to make the gap look better.



This one is a little fuzzy, sorry. Better pics to come.

I can't remember for certain, but they are the widest ones CCC makes, I think 3"? maybe 2"

Sorry,

Jason
