And then the rock-monsters got ahold of the sheet metal so I lost most of it.

I am also narrowing it at the same time.

Clint's still in the game, he's just busy as hell.

Thinking of a radius/trailing arm setup with a panhard for the front due to space constraints. Anyone personally have any experience with this? I know as is almost anything other than a 4-link it is not ideal.

I am most curious to see what people who have run it thought of it.

 

[wheelNC94GC]

I haven't run mine yet, but what about a 3 link w/panhard? I've heard good things about them.

 

[gogogadgetbiker]

Trying to keep from having to mount a frame side upper, that's still a possibility.

 

[orange150]

it wont flex quite as well, unless you put a knuckle on one of the radius arms, that will allow it to flex a little better without as much bind.
here are some radius arms for sale...

looks awesome Bill...I don't remember your shop being that big when I picked up that 2.5L Jeep engine?

 

[gogogadgetbiker]

I moved to a new house with a garage and a seperate shop. At first it seemed huge, now I feel like I "need" about 3 times the space.

[awheelterd]

awesome build. a guy on another forum i'm on did the front 3 link w/a panhard and it seems to be working out pretty well for him. really nice toob work. i especially like the way you did the motor mounts.

 

[gogogadgetbiker]
