That's what I was looking for! All the input I can get....we're still specking all the data and doing measurements. Since it doesn't make much sense to drive the car in winter conditions, the project's kind of "relaxed". No big rush----lots of time to sort out options.

We are really going to examine the differential and shock mounts and other areas which might need attention.The body mounting, re the rear hoop, etc. looks like it will allow some cut-and- weld treatment. One main issue is getting the articulation of the shocks, axle shafts, etc., to function properly. The other aspect is just the simple aesthetics----you can see that the rear wheel-well isn't "filled" properly when the tire is so far forward. That's a minor consideration, though.

One guy we are consulting with said that Butler's set-up was one of the most "elegant" and effective he'd seen-----and he fabricates race cars!

In any case, we're not rushing into this.

Thanks,
