You call the manufacturer and find out if they do custom work or have the right size that's used on another car. They will build any length I want within reason.

P.S. Now I have to put the wheels back on so I can get the springs to settle some more. You should be able to scrape up a slice of bread when it's done.

Dang, that's crazy it's *that* low. I like the slammed & tucked look, but it needs to be driveable. Did you already make the call to the custom end link peeps?

It's really hard to get there since the destination keeps changing. Let's stick to Disneyland before the next trip to Disney World.

If you made the Fracky into a airborne plane with Nitrogen in the tires you could go to Tokyo Disney land... You might have a little problem with the landings but you will have no problem flying low the way it is looking now and with a few more gauges switches etc it will look like a cockpit. In the mean time while your waiting for the pieces to get here take some duct tape out put it over the "2" and go for a spin just watch the roll off in the curves might be a little more then you expected by comparison.

What are you doing in Panama Blake? Is this business or pleasure? Either way, it should be good times.
