That's fat.

Is that interior light factory?

Yeah, rare 6v nasco fluro lol

only one problem with it, needs to be plugged into mains to work! ....

I agree heff, the old slicks just were too small for this car proportion wise, that is now no longer an issue

Looking very cool, I like it! Chassis work looks tops, slightly stronger now

Looking great. Question? looking at the side on view rear how did you bend those nice curves in the square tube?

[Holden202T]

If your referring to the 4 link chassis rails, i bought them like that from mcdonald brothers racing!

[Charlescrown]

Yea that's the ones. Nice smooth curves. They must have a good bit of gear to bend them without any kinks etc.

[Holden202T]

i have this bender http://jd2.com.au/benders/model-32-bender.html you can get square and rectangle tube dies for it, but I have never tried anything other than 1 3/4in roll bar with mine.... but your right they come out really nice, the whole rear end kit is really well made, very nice machine work and lazer cut brackets!

so while I'm still waiting on the roll bar material to be available, I decided to work on the anti-roll bar

[Charlescrown]

Nice sway bar setup. The only concern I have and I may be wrong is the way the arms attached to the sway bar. Are they only attached with the one visible capscrew or there more to it? I would think they will sheer off.

[vlad01]

What sway bar? no sway in that concrete pillar lol

[Holden202T]

yeah the allen head screw is all that secures the arm to the bar .... I can only assume the setup works as its what they sell, I wouldn't think it would be like that if it wasn't strong enough.

the screw has two functions, it clamps the alloy bar to the rod, and also the screw goes through the rod.
