 That's correct on the tie rod. After our first conversation about caliper placement, I drew up a rear-mount caliper setup, but the original shock placement (that I am very happy with  :)) threw a monkey wrench into the whole idea. We'll see how it goes :-\

I'm a bit nervous 'bout LS. I don't have a Banshee on stand by no more! :'( :'(

Not to worry Enemy there will be lot's of open seats I bet. 

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Yeah ,I'm going to owe so many rides I'll wear the car out giving payback rides. I really wish my car would be mobile for this time but due to so many delays getting the CNC going it doesn't appear likely. 95% just won't be done enough. Damn. Oh well ,it'll be great to see all of you.

we will know more if you make it over the 11th to take a few test runs over the terraces.

Are you by chance bringing the car anyway so we may all drool over it Fabr? (I think I read that somewhere???) I cant wait to see it in person

So far its been a busy weekend with other stuff but I got some accomplished. Finished up the paint work Friday night and now re-assembling some areas that are finalized! I did run into an "Ooops, sTuPId bRaIN" problem though.. eyes  Moving the box back i noticed that my fuel tank outlet wants to occupy the same territory as the shifter on the Jeffco.. DAMMIT! I am going to have to raise the tank about an inch to find the clearance I need....  kick  Its a good thing this fuel tanks days are numbered...

A few more pics. Wahoo Metal Products delivered as promised Saturday! I have some bearing carriers to build! ;D ;D ;D

That looks really interesting Enemy!  Are the eccentrics grade 8?  I got the vinyl graphics on my helmet the other day!  It looks pretty sick I'll try to get some pictures posted so you can see it!
Sorry Monster, missed your question!  :-* Yup, grade 8 on the eccentrics. DS was hoping I would figure out that the stock suspension bolt that came with it is a grade 5. It did take me a few hours of staring at the assembly on the counter top trying to (once again..) figure out just what the hell I'm trying to build here. ???  ???   :)

Yes,I'm bringing it for sure. Not much chance of me having time to finalize everything AND do a complete teardown for final welding of things like motor mounts and whatnot while getting it reassembled. Good thing I live relatively close to LS. Gotta prove this thing actually exists.LOL!!! As for drooling I'm pretty sure I'll be the one doing that. Looks like you're going to make it with time to spare .Good going!

Maybe he'll just wiggle his magic nose and POOF! it'll be done. My trouble is that business has picked up and cutting into buggy time.
