I love it.

I'm just concerned that it won't hold together at 120+.

I want a chin spittler for my car.

I like the ingenuity. I agree you should piant color match the turnbuckles. USe that plastic dip stuff. Its black, its pliable and it cheap. Should hold up pretty well too.

IT looks strong and should work for what your using it for. That wing sure is large.
I really like the wheels as well.

If you can jump up and down on a front splitter, then it's strong enough.

What massive O-face ?

Have to say your blog is impressive, must be a blast to drive.

But style-wise it is really cup of tea.

Respect for the effort you put into to car to make it powerfull though.

Man, you're good. Only need one wrench! I've probably got over 30.

I know you used some big *** wheel spacers. Did you want the wheels to stick out past the wheel wells like that? I see that you attempted to roll the rear fenders so I'm thinking that you may have measured wrong. They make those spacers in many different thicknesses. maybe some 2" spacers would work better for you. Are there spacers on the front too?

Jumped on it a bunch of times and its definitely not going anywhere without some serious help

Yup, I'm using 3" spacers in the rear and 1.25" up front. The fender rolling looks like crap because its just a temp fix until my ZG fender flares get installed. 2" spacers wont work because with -2* of camber on the rears the tops of the tire will rub on the inner fender when under severe load.

To each his own and I applaud your effort and work put into it, but I can't help cringe at the look of the car now. A tad ricer. However I like the details in the mechanical and suspension side. Enjoy!
