OK, I'll put the rubber ones back in and see what happens next.
Who's lower arms (the ones with the little triangles to weld in) do you use to eliminate the strut rods?
The CR frame is anything but flimsy. It'll put a F350 frame to shame. If I try to suport the front on two jackstands, I have to shim one. The frame won't twist enough to settle on the low one. The suspension mounting points where the control arms bolt up are what I was referring to.
Didn't go with Enzio on the mufflers. He's semi retired. Didn't go with the JCWhitney mufflers either. Followed up on a small ad in Street Rodder. PowerPack mufflers (powerpackmufflers.com) makes an aluminized 30" case, 2 1/2" core glasspack. Cut the existing turn outs off at the case and sent them. They'll weld it on to the new case, put a 3"ID nipple on the front that I can clamp on the collecters when I get them back. Of course I have to send the retrofits off to Airborne for coating. Keep ya all posted on how it works, looks, sounds, costs.
Maybe I'll have the kinks worked out by DVII
