these ramps and overpasses have been built for over a year, all the construction equipment is gone. only things left are some concrete barricades at the bottoms, and road closed signs.

Details details details.

I like that shot where the light is glinting off the extractors like a set of high beams, about 6 from the top I think?

Those brake fill the wheels nicely.  Are they working okay?

Minor hijack:  Mine sits pretty much like yours, the last delivery guy (ie tow truck driver) asked if something was wrong because it sat so low.  uh, no, not likely.

no wheel hop with my IRS. i have removed all the squishy rubber bushings and replaced them with delrin, poly, or soild mountings.

Have you scaled the car yet?

With the tubular k-member and the IRS, I'm wondering how it came out.

well i could fib, round the numbers down, and call it 51/49 ;)

i havent tried really hard to get the weight down, as yet. i pulled whatever sound deadener out that i ran across, removed only the loose tar paper, and relocated the battery to the trunk. easy stuff.
3200 was my goal for this stage, and i made it, yay! as i get deeper into the car, there are many more ways to put it on a diet.
