Some rear end pics.
Lateral stabilizer etc.

I still have to change the front mountings for the
lower 4 link bars.
I half welded the RHS top shock mount and dummied it up.
When the rest is welded I'll put in extra gussets etc.
The lower lateral stabilizer is in the works but I kinda
stole with my eyes on that one. Speed Demonish!!!!.

I have the tube for the anti roll bar being machined
along with the slider for the lower stab.

In the meantime I'm being Pro Modded.
Tough job but I love the challenge.
Making a rear wing that will no doubt double as a push bar
so it's going to be strong for all the right reasons.
End plates first.

I hope all the stuff I'm making fits the chassis???.

Mike, I think more than a few of us have borrowed one idea or another from Speed Demon. Tbe liner is looking good!

If it's good enough for SD then it should be for me!.

It's the one with the sliding bar but will run under the shaft.

Doing a little body work in between the other stuff.
Engine cover is going to get fairing paste etc.

I've figured what to do with the bucks when they come in!!!!.
Blow it all on the liner. That way when the mower breaks or a window needs replacing I can just shrug it off
and say I'm broke.

This is one of the setups used in the previous car & as seen here ended up with solid links in place of coil overs.

The MT tires Marlo sent me are here.

I'll go collect them when the world wakes up.

Thanks Marlo, awesome birthday present.

One less excuse to limit progress.

Seems that you shouldn't sleep for

a couple of weeks.

Pics of the rubber Marlo sent.
Historic importance to boot.
How many of you own tires off the Target 550?
Thanks Marlo and Freud along with all the guys at Treit & Davenport.
I'll put them to good use.

Congratulations, Mike!

Thank you Neil.
There are some special people in the LSR community.
Happy to be involved in my own small way.

Some guy involved with shipping those probably said "Why the heck does this guy want bald tires?"  That is a great thing for Marlo and crew to do.

[tauruck]

Bo, spot on. My shipping agent and local supplier asked if it was all OK?.
They never got it.

My new sponsor was here today with a real welding helmet for me.
Check this out!!!!!.

This must be the most awesome tool ever. I'm so excited.
Better helmet= better welding.

More details tomorrow.
