Time for an update
Well I lost 3 weekends in the shed because I had to go work in India. Things are not looking good for being ready for Shelbyfest.
I made a bit of progress on the weekend. The drivers side is pretty much done bar a coat of paint and final assembly.
I fabricated an upper shock mount to suit the new arms. One thing I found with the shock mount on the standard Ford setup is that the upper arm used to hit the chassis before the shock bottoms out on its bump stop. Maybe it's the 15" AVO shocks I'm running but for the new setup I thought I'd fix it. The new curved upper arm clears the chassis rail all the way and the shock bottoms out on its bump stop with clearance to spare.
I've got to get working on the passengers side arms now. The new rear wheels should hopefully arrive this week too.
Cheers
