thanks man, it was a whole year in the making, from design to fabrication. we were still painting on it the day we left, so we cut it very close, and no seat time


still worked out awesome though

I have a few questions,

What are you using for the Hubs and brakes?

for the control arms what did you use to make them threaded at the ends for the spherical bushings? or did you buy them already like that

And where did you get the coil-overs from? are the custom spec to your chassis or are they an off the shelf unit?

Hubs and brakes are off a Polaris Predator 500, and the control arms we turned plugs down in our lathe, tapped em, pressed them in and welded them in. and the control arms are spec to our car, but Works fucked the valving up so we had to send them back after the race
