What front suspension did you use? Do you have any pictures of fabricating it into the front. I am kicking around the idea
of using a 97 MXZ for front and rear suspensions along with the track into a 76 LF.

Well do to LIFE.. It doesn't look like I will be ready for the vintage grass drags :( . The sled is really,really close but do to rental property issues (i.e. renters) I just don't have the time to tune..... Maybe I can get a speed run or two in this winter....but in all reality I dought it...... Will keep buying parts tho, looking for a wahl sus. For it as I have sold a few of my classic cars. God I hate some renters' I know there are some good ones out there just going thru a bad streak right now....need some small plastic of alumn. Skies also. Am thinking this may be my last project. When it is all done it will be for sale. This thing started out as a goof and it has turned into more of a project than I really wanted. Even thinking about getting new decals for it now. This was 't my intent with this project, but I got sucked in (dammit). It has been awhile since I updated, kinda embarrassed to tell you the truth as I have 't done much with it since the last posting. At that time things looked good for me for having the time and money to do it. I refuse to use credit on this as it is a hobby. I know, I know, :boohoo: . Just venting and also to let ya know I am still thinking about it.....
