Re: Project '86
Thanks guys
Tonight I started figuring out how to mount the uppers. Got them sitting in the right spot and I will figure out all the bracing later on. Hopefully I can tie it into the bag mount somehow. ![]() |

Re: Project '86
Did you contemplate a wishbone locator or was it just space that dictated the Watts system?

Re: Project '86
Whooaa! Love it! It'll almost be a shame to cover up such a work of art... Can't wait to see how this one turns out

Re: Project '86
I go away for a while and come back to see you've opened a shop and are kicking out some awesome stuff! I curious about the lower control arm, I'm a long way from any type of expert, but it looks like the arch created by the travel on the lower arm and upper arm are quite a bit different. Will this cause any serious issues with handling when the truck is aired all the way up or most of the way down when driving? Not a criticism by any means, I would like to know because that is just beautiful they way you have it all built.

Re: Project '86
The front suspension is set up exactly like a 74 camaro. The customer had used the camaro clip when he initially built the truck so I copied the geometry
