ScaleDale Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Nice links. I did this free hand with styrene rod and tube using a pin vise to anchor the wire. This is better. I've seen it done using a screw to guide the wire for the even spacing. Dale
393stroker Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 I had seen another thread on here with all chrome looking coilovers too. I cant find it now, but these will work. Thanks a lot.
Blown03SVT Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Probably scratch built out of aluminum tubing with machined rod ends and shock shafts. Pretty sure I saw that thread when I search for coil overs. Nice stuff, but above my level of skill.
