castor/camber are set for the correct ride height. I put the spindles and tires on close to where they will ride. everything clears really nice.

well the shop got hit hard monday night/tuesday morning. whoever broke in stole over 60,000$ worth of aluminum beams, my flatbed trailer, and a work truck w/a field welder in the back. Dealing with investigators/detectives threw things off beat on Friday. Soon after I got back on track.

update:

-radius arm mounts completed

-welded them to the truck

-final measurements for radius arms

-main radius arm plates cut and fit for mock up

I could not be happier with where the tire bumps. It looks like I will not have to clear out as much firewall and wheel opening as I thought.


....Im not going to post the radius arm stuff till they are done. Which will be next weekend more than likely. Alot more work than I anticipated, but i'm already pleased with the design and structure.

The radius arms will be separate from the beams (no weld on J-beam type stuff) I chose to do them like that because:

1. a one piece beam/radius arm is a absolute heavy cumbersome piece to remove/install/service

2. IF for some reason one of the pieces gets damaged I can repair or replace the individual piece, not both the radius arm and beam.

The design will not allow for much(if any) adjustability which I am perfectly okay with...

it was hot this weekend. I have been able to deal with the heat for weeks, but something about this weekend made it seem worse...

Radius arms are done. I need to finish up some of the bracketry/bracing where they mount to the beams and then on with the steering.

I decided to face my fears and take the tarp off the back to check for rust... seems like the ATF is keeping everything nice and clean

Looks awesome Morgan.

Sorry to hear about the break-in.

...I totally know what you mean about the heat. It was miserable all last week and to top it off my big fan broke.

It was humid and just plain $hitty. Reminded me of when we had to race in San Felipe this time last year.
