so to prove to myself that cutting the body that far back was a good idea, I bolted up the axle to the wheels and looked. This is at ride height... I refuse to go any higher (25" to frame rail with the 42's). Leaving it there will only give me 2" of bump MAX.
So then I crawled under there and found two more obvious hang ups...
1. The gas tank. Its hard to see in the pic but the top of the pumpkin is too close for my comfort and the axle isnt even all the way back yet. One launch off the sand dune and it'll munch it. hmmmm.
2. Springs are going have to be pretty flat. I'm moving the spring perches but I think I'll have to "french" in the front mount and sleeve the rear side which also means boxing in the frame rail back there.
I better start tracking down a fuel cell.

You should have seen how he was whiling around his 35 spline stub shaft! I have serious doubts that this set of axles are going to break. I'm afraid to take a ride in it because I'm already tempted to start saving for tons.

I'm sure you'll come up with an excuse (more beef!) to keep it garaged a few more months!

The rear end is almost done... just need to burn in the front perches and finish griding the d70 perches and set the new perches. I hate grinding though so I'll probably procrastinate for at least a few more weeks.
Take it easy on that build there buddy, I might as well just sell the Rig of Mortis and buy a moped.
Man that's a nice build you've got going.

The only conflict may be if my daughter has a soccer game or not. The schedule comes out here shortly and should know more soon. I can't wait for you to teach me how to use my bender.
I also have bend tech 3d on the garage computer if you want to play with that too.
