Tom I think what you have hear is a mess. The only way to make it look better is to put it at my house.

are the axles going to be under the chassis so that the shocks are perpendicular to the ground or will they be kicked out a little angling the shocks?

axles will be under the chassis as much as possible so shocks should be close to where they are now , im going for a 12-12.5 wb ... shocks will be mounted as far to the bottom outside as possible and as close to the frame to have that / \ look .
 
Those headers look great man! I wanted mine to come down and out under the body like that but the ones I bought aren't shaped right to do that. What size of tubing did you use to make them?

So I take it you cut the top off the bottle and shoe goo it on the wheel? I've been trying to figure out how Kent did that but never p.m.'d him to ask how.

Sorry been meaning to do a "how to" on that but never got around to it. I had taken pics of the process but my desktop crapped out and all the photos were on it. I got the hard drive wired up to my laptop now but haven't gotten around to transferring the pics over.

Steve (kong808) was the one who came up with the idea and he asked me to do the how to. In short there's two ways to do it. One is to punch a hole in the bottle cap and use the wheel nit to hold that on. Then cut the thread portion off the bottle and glue a flat circular piece on that and decorate it as a planetary. hen you just screw it onto the the bottle cap already on the wheel.

The second way is almost the same except the bottle cap is the planetary and you glue the flat piece to the threaded part and screw it to the wheel.

ok finally got my axles in and started to really mock it up , im stupid to have started without them but impatiences lol..

so center tray is being reworked to clear the upper links ..... i was trying to remember when i started the size of clod axles (been a while since i had them )

shocks are re worked , had to ditch the wk shocks being they were just to long :( so maxx front and pede fronts for the rear

just a quick mock up right now but links are done more tonight will be done :)

what is the WB? If you extended the rear 14mm (1/2'') that shock would look better. Right now it's leaning backwards
