Have had it a long time but finally getting things happening. Will be on bags, have just finished the floor, ch***is with a notch for the coyote and 6r80 trans.

    Curious about the suspension and steering with the width of the Coyote.

    Worked out pretty well
    Just starting to mock up a new radiator support and some mods to the inner fenders
    Used a local falcon power steering box but all rest is original as they steer ok from factory
    Have used modded Jamco arms, local falcon drop spindles etc
    Pics are suspension fully dropped
    Cheers

    Build looks great but curious what you did and why regarding modifying the Jamco arms. Are they not a direct bolt in for the car?

    Thanks everyone for the feedback.......
    We need to get everything engineered here in Oz before car can be registered and he didnt like the the way the Jamco arms were cut away to get the standard cross shaft in , so I did the changes as attached....
    Basically added a new solid end to the uppers , cut away one end of the cross shaft mount and replicated the mount with a clamping boss......abit of mucking around but worth it as i didn't want to throw the Jamco arms after paying for them and shipping them here

    Not 100% positive how the Jamco arms will be as far as bumpsteer is concerned but hopefully can check that out soon IMG_1464.jpg

    Original Jamco lower arm

    Cross shaft mount removed so it can installed into arm

    Revised end with gusset

    Sorry for the long winded explaination !!!!!

    Would love a driveshaft but I think shipping to Oz would be a killer ;);)
