Re: All back-halfs
Oh and it's 2x4 .120 wall for the frame rails. Lower link bars are 1.5x2.5 .120. And the wishbone is 1.5" .120.

Re: All back-halfs
yes a realize this, But it was on hand, and also im trying to break a few mold by maintaining some towability, so it will be built seemingly overkil, also i want the added weight so it will hook up at the track.
