Home made are the words. Yes, why not a hybrid :D That is if the chassis lines up properly. Have a good look at the shock bracket and especially the suspension bracket. If your suspension bracket is a bit off (it looks like it's not all there) your rear wheel geometry will suffer. Of course with those upper arms you have the possibility of adjusting the camber to compensate. But also the arms maybe worth checking with respect to toe in and caster. If everything is ok someone has done a good job!

On further inspection the rear shock towers do seem to be a bit suspect so I think I'm going to have to source one from somewhere anyone know if you can get a carbon fiber ones ? And as for the wishboans they look like they should line up pretty well but they do need new threds and cups. So it looks like I may have a base for a (hybrid shelfer). Any help or suggestion would be greatly recived
