this is gonna suck to make work and geometry to be right. its an omni rack that im trying to make work. the stock steering box and drag link is way off with the pinto spindles so im gonna have to make this work. i should of just made a k frame with front steer. it will be on the next one!!!

[cbrestorations]

[cbrestorations]

working on my valance, filled in all the big holes and making a lower grill with sides to hide the new turn signals behind the mesh grill. using the original turn signal holes as brake ducts

way more betters...pinto spindles and flipped lower balljoint fixed all mopar geometry and now i have more travel and better handling geometry. plus now i can drop the car to 1/2" off the ground if i wanted. way more betters...

Can you show a pic of the spindles/ball joints with them flipped?  Which ball joints are you using? Never seen that done before and curious how you got it to work.

Thanks!

Very cool project! 

Not sure if you have someone to tune it but I can put together a good calibration for you start with if you need it.

You sir, are a master fabricator. Hats off to you design and fabricating skills.

Also congrats on the engagement!

[cbrestorations]

made the trim panels for my valance and started making aluminum bumper brackets. they are 1/6th of the weight

Valance looks very cool! and the aluminum bumper mounts as well! Great job!
