[QUOTE=raidermanny]I just came across this post and thought I would post a few pics of my Fatman stage 3 kit. I have everything that they sent installed but am not sure yet what I'm gonna do about motor mounts or steering shaft. I really like the looks of the kit. Also mine came with a 5x5 bolt pattern.

This frontend looks really sweet and would like to see some more picks of it is possible, especially a full frontal view showing the rack setup, also would like a pick of the front ride height. Did you get the 2" lowered spindles or keep the stock height spindles with this setup.
I ordered this setup 12/8/05 for my 67 in partial to the fact that I am having to narrow the rear end setup to put some wider meets back there so I can get some hookup while contemplating all of this I have also been looking at possibly pulling the whole frame out and replacing all of it with a 2X4 boxed frame setup. I found a place in PA. that will make up the Frame Rails, for in my opinion very, very resonable money, I can do all the welding so they wouldnt have to put the frame together.

What is the measurement from the lower frame rail to the top of the cross member.

I would like to note for everyone reading this post, N2TRUX mentioned in his previous post about ScottsHotRods, what he did not mention is some of the issues that he went through with them, he also had someone install this setup for him and the good part was they knew what they where doing and could resolve the issues. I also have dealt with these guys and they have NO Clue what they are doing, they do not have an engineer designing these they just take copies of other setups and try to imitate them. When I had originally ordered mine from them it was over eight months getting everything from them as well as they still owe me money. Although the stuff looked very sturdy it wasnt engineered properly and I had to redo several things to get things right(somewhat). If you have any doubts to what I am saying just call any professional shop that does IFS setups and ask them about Scotts HotRods..
