Some more from today. The ride height and back spacing of the wheels are spot on. special thanks to Denny aka. Hemidenny. and his HDK front suspension.
For anyone using the HDK suspension on your early A body. I'm using wilwood pro spindles with 2" drop. Believe it or not I thought we would be using the shortest setting on the mock up shaft that Denny supplies with his kit.It is a using the tallest setting and with the wheel and tire combo I have on the front there is no way it could go any lower with out some serious sheet metal work to the inner fender and close out panels to the engine bay. the tires are 25.4 tall. the cross over tube on the new suspension is 6.25 inchs off the ground and the front rocker/fender at its lowest point is 5 inches.
Rich. Glad to see your still out there.hows your build coming along.
.......but 10k?...is that what you told your wife?....come on!!...it's US your talkin too....but its OK as long as your build gets the green light....after that...well..it's kinda like a government project...you know....justification???..means...gotta have it!!
I take it the two larger holes are from the bumper supports? I'd ditch the bumper and run two SMICs behind/fed by former bumper holes. I was never a fan of just having a huge FMIC out in the open.
