    I'm sure you could attach the rockers to the chassis first, but it freaks me out.....something keeps telling me not to, so i wont. I totally used the pivot for the rear suspension drop....its such a small adjustment, that it didnt really affect the tyre spacing/centering.

    Hey, everyone!, Here is how i dealt with the front end suspension lowering. Wish i woulda got to it sooner for you, Randy, but here it is..... -Photo 1; Here are the bits for the job....to make the slide that the spindles are attached to, i just carefully cut the lips off the C-channel. -Photo 2; Cant remember the size of rod i used for the spindles, but it was barely loose in there, which helps with Canter, and Camber.....i always use a thicker glue for mounting my wheels, and tyres. E6000 craft glue is my favorite, it gives you time to tweak things....fills in the loose space, and cures great!! -Photo 3; Starting position, which happens to be where i'm gonna set it at. -Photo 4; Look how high the spindle on the left can slide up.....drastically lowering the car!!....notice the one on the right is still at the start position. FINAL THOUGHTS; This technique can be used to fix so many issues....including kits that were built right, but doesnt fit flat on all fours. Hope this helps with other kits as well!!

    Today i jumped right in on the fuel system!, after i SB the fuel pump, i can install it all. -Photo 1; Here are the kit supplied fuel tanks... -Photo 2; I needed to remove the two unrealistic "caps", so i used tape to protect the surrounding areas while i worked on them. -Photo 3-5; Since i was going for an updated, lightweight plastic look, i decided to ditch the tank straps, and SB a molded-in bracket look. After the glue dries, i will paint all the stuff i added here, as well as make bolts for everything. Its now time to SB a fuel pump!
