Yes STREET CAR. full interior 15 gal fuel cell. But I have tried to follow the NHRA rules to the letter. There should be no issues if I do take it to the track :D

That's why I had to go with the Watts link hopefully it works out ok.

I was curious of the watts link. I am wondering if the angles of the links will wok out for you.

Looks great in any case! :D

The watts has a full adjustable rod ends on both sides. It has over 11'' of linear vertical travel. That travel can be adjusted by the rod ends LH RH. I have had car throughout its range of motion and it is surgical on how perfect it travels.
the picture was at full extension not ride height the links are straight at ride height.


You can also move the rear left or right in the chassis with those links.

Thank James Watt for this 230 year old invention!

Almost done with the interior sheet metal. Good learning experience since I have never worked with sheet metal :) I made a brake for about $50 and bought a Eastwood bead-roller.







AND THE REAR SEAT WILL FIT! (slight mod to rear of seat)
