Joel B SL-C build Thread

Joel, one thing I noticed. Looks like the rod ends on your front A-arms are screwed all the way in. I assume you have not done an initial alignment yet, but on an earlier post you mentioned you were doing an initial alignment. The reason I point this out is my recommendation would be to do an initial alignment and square the chassis as best you can and then lock the body.

Unless Fran has adjusted the actual wheel base on the car, most builders need to tilt back the front a-arms. If not, you run out of adjustment on the rear wheels to get them centered in the body. Just wondering if you have run into any of those issues.

Anyway, I enjoy reading your updates. Keep up the good work!

Nice progress Joel.

Thank you Sir!

Thank's Joel. Body isn't locked in position yet. I still need to make a few adjustments.. fortunately I have the ability to move the tow loop if I need too, I put some elongated holes in it if needed to do so. Thanks for the tip on the suspension arms.. I did notice some camber on the front wheels kinda looked a bit more inward.. I'm still learning..
