Sorry it took so long to catch up...
Mick, all the stuff I had mentioned earlier has worked quite well for my chassis' to date. I did use the original chassi pick up points, just fabbed control arms as req to fit the parts. I never thought of Morris' idea on the rack being too long as designed because I made the car fit the parts. A bit or 'reverse engineering' I suppose!
I would like to compliment Brent on setting up a forum for us, now we just have to get accustomed to having more than one thread!
I would also advise EVERYBODY, builder or not, to check out Morris' site (listed earlier). I have been following his build on the Gashole site, and this car is going to be spectacular! A TON of great ideas in there...
I guess we need to ping Coupe Chuck and get him in here with some updates on his scratch built Daytona....the ultimate homebuilder in my eyes!

He is the one that got me started on this trek (..BTW, my WIFE wants to meet you, too! She's Mexican, so watch out for blades! ). I have been experimenting with aluminum, small parts first, and am just about ready to tackle a full body...I just happen to have a fibreglass buck!
