So this weekend the rear suspension is going to be a complete solid upr and anti roll bar, and the shocks are going to be mounted with the cross bar in between the frames instead of through the floor pointing forward. The relocation is going to work better because now thew anti roll bar when it gets mounted it will function like it's suppose to and the shocks will be in the up right position.

Well shit, thats why! The shocks should always be up down orientation. Even full tubbed 4 link cars have their shocks completely vertical (even if they are only 3 inches outside the 9" pumpkin)....

Edgar you should get up with Little Art in Kinsey. He has Mike Collins car up there and Ricky Presleys 69 Camaro. He does really good work and he is inexpensive also. I bet he could help straighten you out. Hope you get it worked out.

Well it looks better now. The set up is correct, with the coil overs been at the right position and all the suspension solid.

She see the Surgeon next week and we are hoping he releases her, if he does she does not have to go to therapy only once a week, maybe. She starts to work next week. She is having straight A's at the college. Thanks for asking:


Edgar

That is great news! I'm glad she is doing well.
