Hey monster,
curiosity is getting to me on this one. Why would you want to do this vs. the stealth? Just wondering is all...

MONSTER?? No need to drag him into this. Just because it's what the chassis was originally designed for. The battery fits on the left with either. I'm sure I'd stick with the Stealth.[/quote]

Pansy, I'm running a six shooter [/quote]
I'm still torn. It sorta depends on how the case I have cleans up. I'm definitely going mid-motor though. Seems appropriate. Pansy? C'mon you can do better than that! Oh yeah, I forgot. You're on double-secret probation with the mods already. Before I hit submit, I can tell I already F'd up the quotes. Apparently the region of my brain that's used to properly delete quotes was screwed up back in the 60's.[/quote]

I think I might cut and paste this mess in my sig How did you do this?

Sadly, I thought I finally got it right! I was going to delete it, but as with all great works of art they need to be enjoyed. If I ever run out of ways to embarrass myself it's time to leave all internet forums.

What are the top a-arm choices for these cars, and tire manufacturers for that matter? I saw the compounds listed in the other thread, but what's the cheapest/easiest way to get them for vintage applications?

Thanks for the help guys. I'll probably have a few more questions, but I should be just about there.
