Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II

very nice work! The details like the capping of the frame mount will make the frame that much nicer in the end!

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II

Well I decide to change the upper wishbone to a triangulated four link, didnt like the long front mounting tabs. Also Got the rear shocks mounted to the lower bars. As well as made the mount for the accuair vavle and i've started the computer mount.


Here are the pictures...





Rear Shocks






Accuair valve mount

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53 Part II

Well the sway bar wont work, but oh well.

I redid the accuair valve mount cause i didnt care for it resting on the driveline hoop. I also got the lower link end changed out to rod ends, and got the third member in to check driveline clearance.

Heres the pictures.

valve mount and computer mount...



Link ends...




third member in...
