Question, I’ve been 🍺in tonight so forgive me. But is that bar that I highlighted in dred bent upwards? If so, I’ve often wondered why more builders don’t do that to keep the cv angles more level? Guess maybe for ground clearance? ID K esit post cause I forgot to add pictures Edited July 17, 2022 by CampfiresNbrews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it comes down to knowledge and caring about putting out a good product. Don even sent me a pic of the axle angle after mock-up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an appointment for sheet metal at the end of the month so the fire is burning under my ass to get it ready. The fab work is slow moving but really nice and done right. I picked up my Alper motor last weekend. A buddy picked up the Jettrim seats yesterday. Lots and lots of pieces to the puzzle but it'll be super nice when finished. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did end up selling it and it’s currently in good hands getting finished up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
