HOLY CRAP! MAJOR PROBLEM TONIGHT! We started looking at the rear suspension tonight and found out the arms are stock by stock. The coilover mounts that were on the car only gave the car about 5" of travel and half of it is regressive. There is nowhere at all to mount the shocks but the outside of the frame. The tire is only 1-1/2" away from the outside frame with a minimum offset wheel. Thanks to the POS fab shop whose name I will not speak for doing such a wonderful job on the fab work for the previous owner.
So heres what we need to fix it. Does anybody have any 3x3, 3x5, or 5x5 arms laying around they are willing to donate or sell cheap or have a jig I can borrow to make some. This just made our work load huge and we cant send it to powder till I can do new rear shock mounts.

Well the trailing arm problem has been solved. I used the new microstub 5x6 arms that were for my car, and will be modifing them for stub axles. I really want them for my car but I can always buy more later, I just want to get this thing done to surprise Travis.

            Where are you at on the list.  I have a brand new bus starter and a set of mirrors.  The left mirror has two small scratches in it but other then that they are nice billet mirrors. I would be glad to send them your way for the project.

I could use the starter. I have 3 for a 002 but they dont work on the 091. After looking at the car, to mount the side mirrors they would need to hang WAY out to be useful. The back of the car is much wider than the front so you would only see the car in the mirrors. Than you very much.

Let me check the numbers on this starter to be sure it in fact is a 091. To tell the truth I didn't know there was a difference.  I'll get back to you on it.  Sorry the mirrors wont work.

Here are some updated photos. I had to chop up lots of the rear to make the suspension work properly. Also added a light rack and some more tabs for things like roof, lights and whips. Should go to my friends house this week for the bodt and off to powder by early next week.
