dude this is awesome!
Thank you!
We always squared the rear axle off the motor plate and then square the front axle too the rear axle on blocks and then check At ride height.
That’s good advice but it’s not how to measure the car that I’m worried about, that I’ve done too many times than I wanted to unfortunately lol, it’s the actual measurements for squaring, blocking, desired ride heights, etc. I have help with bars and shocks from Frank’s Shocks and Newlin Bar Service I’m fortunate to say. We’re making it turn both left and right so there isn’t any data and we have to start from scratch mostly. I like using a piece of aluminum angle off the motor plate for squaring, what’s your favorite thing to use and what class?
Have you considered taking the car to Bonneville ever?
It would be very hard to beat “The Green Demon” Damian Gardner’s record at 211 mph but the experience in it self would be epic, it would also be very expensive though lol
Coming along well, I don't know if ya saw what I posted in an earlier video, but I said "couldn't ya just flip over the LF bar to work on the RF" and that's what ya did, cool I thought that it might work. Are ya running a multiple disk clutch? I bet your getten excited to take it for a spin eh? Thanks for your military service. Be safe when ya shake it down.
Hope you’re doing better! I did see your last comment, it was after I mounted the new arm but great minds think alike! lol, and it’s a twin disc 7” clutch from Quartermaster.
One thing always to look out for is drag links are definitely directional, if you get it backwards and then the tire contacts its possible to spin it right off the heim joints. Ask me how i learned that lesson. Lol !
Good advice again! Good thing this one has the s bend for the tire at the one end so it’s kind of idiot proof for me lol. Not sure if you do already or not but we always taped around the drag link straps on the frame and drag link which could prevent it spinning off. Do you still run?
@@johnfiore91 i cant wait to see this car run in anger. Very very cool machine.
