Re: 1953 Modified

nice to see adjustments built in on the upper 4 link arms so you can adjust frame loading under accelleration if required. have you done a full suspension travel check to ensure the max height falls outside the "hit the box floor" parameters? looks beefy, what kinda power are you planning?

That just keeps getting better all the time and may raise the bar a notch or so.

Re: 1953 Modified

Nice fabrication work. Is your top triangle bar mount attached to the center section or just to the brackets welded to the axle tubes? Offset 8.8 axles are a challenge to get everything mounted. Good to see the built in adjustments.
