Here is a view of the back side of the Coleman spindle, GM brake
bracket, and steering arm as it sits face down in the Wilwood hub and the Real Racing
Wheel rim.
I finally decided to go with Victory Circle upper A-arms that are
+/- 9" long. I'm using Chrysler type screw-in ball joints. The arms are easily
adjustable for length, caster, and camber. In this photo I am seeing where they will
fit. The copper pipe seen below the frame is being used to determine where a second
strut arm will go to form the lower A-arm.
This is a view from the front and is close to the actual final
setup dimensions. Next will come the torch to remove the old spring pocket and make
way for the new mounting points.
This shot is fron the front also but a little higher up.
This view is slightly from the back.
Here is a view from the back. In the immediate forground is the
mounting surface on the frame to attach to the body. The tire is a 25 x 13 Goodyear
on a 12 x 16 rim.
I'm also getting ready to install the cage after gutting the interior
and removing all the glass. I've held off on the cage until I can determine where
suspension pieces will need to mount.
It really gets ugly stripping out the interior.
