your frame maybe a little tweaked where it mounts to the chassis I found that they bend very easily when not mounted. It doesn't look like the frame was cut

Thanks guys. Scr8p you may be right about the tubes being bent. They were tweaked when I got the car so I may have realigned them with out the use of a jig. :roll: Like murphy said these things are pretty bendy when they're not attached to the chassis plate. It's awonder any of them survived! I'm going to think the rear camber rod thing over. I'll make sure I have the right shocks installed then take another look at it. Tiz, thanks for the pic. It looks like you have the same setup as I do except my bulkhead only has the outside hole drilled. More pics when I get those issues corrected.

Couple of quick update pics. Tubes were bent a bit, still won't quite reach. I filled the gap with a couple of washers for now. Wheels and tires from my parts bin. Not sure what the wheels are but the fronts were really small in diameter. Got the tires somewhere else and didn't think I'd ever be able to use them. No caster adjustments have been made - I may have to shorten some rods to make this work. This will get a McCallister body for now.

Those front tires are Proline 1.7 dirt oval tires, I believe commonly used on Dominators and Badgers

Thanks guys. Reggie, thanks for helping with the tires. I knew what they said on them but I didn't know what they were for. I think they suit this project well though. I'd like to get a better pair of rear tires, these were all I had and they're pretty worn.
Rick, I always wanted one of these back in the day but couldn't afford it. I was buying diapers instead. :?
