    Your shock mounts are something I'm gonna copy on mine! I p***ed on a set of L88 heads because of problems others had. What did you end up with?
    The wheelbase on mine is 3'' stretched and to my eye, looks right.
    Love your build!

    First thing I thought of was the ackerman being severe on tight turns but at low speeds maybe not matter..I couln't see any bracing on the steering arms but curious as to the reason for spacing them [I ***ume both sides] in that far, probably for caliper clearence..Pretty clean steering though..

    I took the parts off of it and threw it in the trash
     
  10. OK, because it looked clean enough to keep and I was thinking about it for a 57' project of mine. Thanks for the quick reply., Chuck
