drxfter Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 From what I've seen on the net of 'reverse link' suspension set ups, there's no way you'd pass roadworthy in Australia. Even the boys who go to the considerable trouble of full 4 link airbag suspension don't get approval without an engineer's certificate. But if its legal, and safe to drive, where you are.....

Smiley720 Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 And thats why I would never live in Australia. I would like to visit, I hear the chicks are hot Quote Link to comment
Smiley720 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 it was a high of 24 degrees today, i am trying to thaw out after being in the garage all day. I got the gas tank back in and then taken back out to fully weld the mount. I will give more updates tomorrow as I hope to have both notches installed. Pics will come on Monday when I get back to my house and download the camera Quote Link to comment
kaoss Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I got me one of these from wal mart, it's a single, the best $40 bucks I've spent. It just sucks when I want to grill and I've used all my fuel keeping my ass warm! Quote Link to comment
Smiley720 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Between the race car, the shelby, and the 720 in a two car garage I don't have enough room for a heater. I wish I did. Quote Link to comment

Smiley720 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 It was a beautiful weekend, with another one coming up. I'm gonna start working on shaving the cowl next weekend. The rearend is going on the back burner for a couple weeks till I can get some parts. I dont wanna get stuck and stop working on it all together. Quote Link to comment
slam_dat_sun Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Yeah I know what you mean, plus there is no need in getting in any hurry . Quote Link to comment
Smiley720 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hurry?! Well, I gotta have this thing on the road by May. We have the "Golden Cruise Night" the first Saturday of the month starting in May. Go check it out, last summer a few of us tried to revive the minitrucking effort here in Colorado, but my lady and I kept showing up in the Focus, well that's not gonna happen this year. Oh yea the link, http://goldensupercruise.com/ Quote Link to comment
drxfter Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Looks like its going to be able to go plenty low, with that chassis C-notch. Should look 'scrapin' when complete....and that's always a good look. Oh, and Australian's don't have an accent, Americans do. Although the English are closer to not having an accent than the Canadians. And don't get me started on the New Zealanders! Have I re-started enough international rivalry? But I DO LOVE the way California girls talk. Quote Link to comment

Smiley720 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 WELL, It's done!!! There are a feww little things I need to do (shocks) but at least the bulk of the work is completed. Quote Link to comment
RatRod25 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 You gunna put a bridge of some sorts between the notches? Quote Link to comment
Smiley720 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 No it is gonna stay open Quote Link to comment
RatRod25 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 How are you gunna run your shocks? Do you think the frame is gunna flex with out a bridge? Quote Link to comment
Smiley720 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 It shouldn't flex, the only crossmember that I removed I replaced with a stronger one. the notch is much beefier than the original frame. I'm running the shocks right off the notch, straight down to the rearend Quote Link to comment
