If done right with double sheer tabs "not channel tabs" bushings can be nice. 

In this above quote is channel tabs whats you are refferring to in the pic above showing the bushing with the U shaped bracket holding the arm bushing at an odd angle??

    Allot of builders will do this because bushings are much quieter then heims.  and a good nyltron bushing will last five times as long as a heim.  If done right with double sheer tabs "not channel tabs" bushings can be nice.  Just not the way that one is done.  Smart man to walk away from that one. 

   Were them side panels alli or fiberglass?  Look like fiberglass to me. Go back to the Tec 3.
Ditto.

Yes ,it is. Nothing wrong with bushings-possibly superior to heims. The mounting tabs are the issue.

Still thinking.......

Not a fan of the 091 behind this motor.  Uncertain of a carb motor.  needs new belts (3 point - really?).    he is asking 14k and I would not go there on the car.  Likly not go over 10k as there is a lot of work to be done, but as a platform..... 


Any input?

           Bad call on the three point. Epic Fail.  Car has potential but like you say not for $14K. $9K and lose the 215 Buick. Nice start for a 2.2 with the super charger or the turbo.  Stay with a light four Banger.  Anything heaver and it will stand on its tail to much pulling the hills.  Must have screwed up on the two per side front shocks.  My .02.

NICE! You might have a winner there. I didn't critique the pics for design issues yet but I LIKE it for some reason.
