I have been mulling over the reasoning of the over tube on this car, thinking reinforcement. Got any thoughts on the application.
Looks like they are gonna slide up and tie to the beam of course, you think that adds strength to the point of contact?

YES... Larger dia. would equal more weld area. Also double thick at beam (sleeved) would be stronger.

Was wondering what forces of evil have been keeping you away. Hurry up and get back to the important stuff.

Ordered---------owner is going on vacation for 3 weeks, I am first on the list for fabrication and delivery when he returns.
From what I understand the lower arms are going to be built with heavier CM. With that change in material the cost is going up. I ordered the arms(new style and the CM link pins.
The wife is gonna be busy this weekend so I can play with the car,

Vacation! KC, tell him you have important things going on and his vacation will have to wait. Good to hear you will have some time to work on the vert.

Got the car apart and the pan up on a crude rotisserie, lots of welding under here. New completion date 3-2010.

Anyone ever weld inside here?
