bill_67 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Pat, did you have to shorten the upper and lower control arms to fit width of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Minarick Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Pat, did you have to shorten the upper and lower control arms to fit width of the car? Yes I did . May have to cut a little more, I forgot about the brake rotors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are ,that is what I originally wanted to do with this,but it's been done so I had to do something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithJackson Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) I am going to guess that this doesn't even need a drive shaft. Reminds me of Rick Dobbertin's Pontiac J2000 from the mid '80s. The rear end was narrowed so much that it was said that the axles could fit in a shoe box. I was surprised to find that they did make a 1/25th model of it.

Well no drive shaft ,it has a torque tube and transaxle. It would be cool to tub this but even I think that would be impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
