Ah, what she doesn't know isn't going to hurt you! Besides, if she comes after you, just hold up your hand and yell "Honey! No! Not the finger!"

i would make you a gentlemens bet if you took the arms out you wanted and listed each item individually on ebay again, you might break over $200 again

well, it looks like you'll still need a trailing arm setup, because it'd be a shame to not build that car. all it's missing is the front bulkhead.

but, if you'd decide to sell what you don't need, i'll gladly take those front a-arms off your hands.

actually, looking at the pic again, you'd still be ok to build that car if you wanted to. the rear shock tower is the short one for an a-arm rear suspension. the trailing arm setup would use the tall version of that tower. being as though that lot came with the rear a-arms, your still in good shape to have an almost complete andy's pro grahite car.

but i'll still take those fronts arms off your hands if you don't want them.

How do those trailing arm set ups work on the track compared to a standard gold tub.Are they more suited to a particular type of track.I have always liked to work on set ups and was just wondering how thay work.

we'll see like i said only wanted the trailing arms

yeah i forgot to add , it should be ok with the wife now she bought (today) a 08 jeep patriot so we're cool

Congrat's on that score. I probably would have bid on that but noticed the front bulkhead was missing and figured it would be near impossible to locate just the front bulkhead. I'm glad someone from this forum won the parts.
