it looks like you have a chassis builder that actually gets things done that's gonna be a sweet car when its done.   I bought a 64 falcon that I had option of buying the lenco that came with it also,  all the hyme joints on the linkage were wore out and wow it was almost 2000.00 bucks to replace just  those,  they are only made by lenco for the lenco,  I tried to find different hyme ends to no avail,  that was about 5 years ago maybe you can get some now I don't know.  I said no on that but they are cool,  ill just keep running the rollerized c6 until I have some money burning a hole in my pocket.  super nice car you have. :)

Well car has been coming along slowly. Chassis guy has been working on other jobs to get caught up. With me adding more for him to do and other speed bumps in life it is going to take longer than I originally planned on. His work has been top notch, so I am having him do even more.  So I'm working the long hours so he can keep working on it. Lol.  He had to get a few of his regular/repeat customers cars updated for 2016 race season.

Here are a few update pics though.

Thanks, stance and wheel tire combo make or break a car. It's taken a lot of work to get it to look like that.

Very cool build in many ways! I really enjoy watching this come together. Please keep updating this thread. I really like the chassis work, and the engine trans combo is the bomb, along with the F2 deal is sure interesting.

I think everyone wants to see this project completed and find out what kind of numbers this thing will produce on the track. I hope it comes together quickly at the end. I am sure you want to see that more than anybody!
