very nice work! love the unimog too, it looks like a BEAST.

Thanks Dusty! I saw that you are changing the gears on the grazziano. I may have to look into that as I am not sure how well the factory set up is going to work. It was nice to see someone post all of that! good work, that seems like a challenge not for the faint of heart......................m

Terry thanks for the input and you are correct. I did consider all of what you are saying and the bars ratings are figured at 90 degrees . The three holes at the angle I ended up with will give minimum change if any at all. The way I have it set is to swap the bars out. I can do it w/o even...

not dedicated for the track. I would change the roll bar set-up for that, but we are planning on the track and that usually means slicks and fun. I am not planning fender to fender racing with this car but who knows...................m

I know this is different then most but I wanted something different

This is what we came up with for a front sway bar better to do it now then later. bar is speedway engineering 34'' 155lb on a 10'' arm starting with the softest possible............m

I have had this problem on at least three cars and they were not all rcr. If the inner clam assembly is not installed correctly [bonded/glassed in ] it will be off. The clam is very flexible with out it in place. I think you know the answer. brake the bond of the inner piece flex the outer clam...

Thanks for the picture Scott. my intent is to mount it further away [forward from the foot box] so I can get a better angle to the control arm. We have always used speedways arms and bars and the rating of the bars is pretty simple with twist of the bar to length of the arm from the axis in...

Howard it seems you have put a lot of time with yours on the track, are you suspension alignment specs in your build log? I followed it but don't remember. I remember you talking about increasing your spring rates due to compression at higher speeds but don't remember if you scaled the car or...

Thanks for your responses, I am on the right track [no pun intended] I will be using speedway engineering bars like I normally do and will start on the soft side for fine tuning. Thanks Howard for the information, I had come up with those points for mounting not a lot of room on the back, the...

I am finally able to work on our slc again with hopes of finishing it up. I have Frans stock sway bars which I will not use, I will make them available if someone wants to use them at a fire sale price. we use speedway engineering bars which give us great ability to fine tune the chassis, my...

Ryan it is, as well as the Holman Moody entry. Both are owned by millermotorsports [larry millers family]. The museum is packed!

Will, Bill Hough in mass. has the fiberglass shells Im sure he would sell you one and it would be easy to modify if necessary

I have one as well! I will have to check the number of my car The Shelby American collection has one. I checked the numbers, and mine as well as the one at the museum were both In the low 100's. I also have one of the later made ones that were not as accurate made by shell valley in the 90's I...

Peter are you looking for the foot-box area? engine compartment, or whole thing?

Bill Hough in mass. can make you one

I am not sure I agree Neil we have certainly made parts with the Bridgeport mill and also used the lathe for threading of pieces as well as using taps and dies to cut when needed and I don't recall any failures yet...

As long as I am close to zero degrees I have had no problems

I have cut more threads on the chevy tie rod / upper ball joint to allow it to seat completely in the upper control arm this will give you more depth, I have seen quite a difference depending on manufacture on the threads. The set up goes negative camber very quickly from that level set up with...
