I like it but the pipe seems dangerously close to the lower Watts link.

Yeah I think that's because there's no weight on the wheels. I haven't had clearance issues yet, but I will let you know if I do.

Wow, the welds look pretty good.

I agree, that watts link is rubbing and will be even harder on the pipe once the wheels are on the ground.. Nice work but you should look into fixing that section. And the pipe out back is either too long or not long enough

Yeah I actually just checked today and unfortunately it has rubbed a bit. I will see if the shop that fabbed it will be able to do a revision.

I think we can find the answer to that if he would post pictures of the car on the ground with some rear and side pictures!

More pics!
