I guess as part of the teething pains with the new forum, the last two entries and pictures from CAV - Getting the Horsepower to the Ground - Part VI cannot be seen unless you are a member and logged in. Guests only see 20 of 22 total posts. This will probably change in the future but for now here are the last two entries.

CAV - Getting the Horsepower to the Ground - Part VI
Two pictures to go and I will be done with Part VI.
Here is everything in final assembly. Ground clearance is 4 inches in front and 4 1/4 inches in back. Note how the new trans bracket is still a few inches higher that the belly pan of the monocoque chassis (and it clears my floor jack).
The black tube that crosses the end of the car is actually part of the rear clip hinge and is not a sway bar as it first appears even though it is mounted with polyurethane bushings. At the first opportunity the radius in the tube will be centered under the muffler and all the black parts may be re-painted silver to match the rest of the new rear suspension components.
