Steering mounted. Arms built up with Tecnacraft titanium gold hinge pins, gold e-clips, and Trinity aluminum ballstuds.
I didn't know the JG brace fit on the bearing belcranks too.

It fit like a glove. I was sort of wondering myself.
One last shot of a factory fresh chassis, before it gets bolted up.

nice with the titanium shafts and aluminum studs, I was gonna mention them steering cranks came with standard bearings back in the day but fit the flange bearings nicely.

I'm using these rare RPM shock standoff. I've never mounted a set before. I love the small detail of the RPM lettering on them. The Jammin tower is attached to a RPM bulkhead. Aluminum 4-40 and 8-32 hardware used throughout.

Rear end assembled and installed onto the chassis. Using Lunsford retro turnbuckles and RPM ends. I was planning to use these cool vintage grey units, but remembered they are for a larger diameter HD thread. RPM rear carrier and chassis brace finish off the slider.

Your PRo SE car build is looking fantastic.

Not even a scratch from the screwdriver on the screw heads!
Just wow!

I'd like to ask how the screw heads all get aligned like that, but I don't want to know the real answer. It's kind of like 'you should never meet your heroes'. I'll just go with having the superhuman ability to always start screws of identical length at the same clocking, and knowing how to adjust the starting position based upon minor variations in screw length. That's 100% the real method.

Well, I guess we won't give you the right answer but we do the same black magic with electrical wall plates to align the screws with each other.

I have to say it's harder to avoid scratching the screw heads than it is to get them aligned.
Yes RogueIV, I feel you on the electrical wall plates and making sure the screw heads are aligned. I actually replaced all the electrical covers in my house with fancy screw free units. Problem solved there!

Shocks built using SRS cartridges and MIP internals. The internals are held in by a snap ring.
I'm not sure on shock spring color. I had sourced front and rear shock sprinks in black, for a cleaner look. However colored springs just seem to suite an SE.

I think the only parts coming from your car are the red antenna mount, hydradrive, and battery hold. Most of your car are going to go into my modern SE build.
