Camber plates welded in all four corners






The real deal!!!!




Wait til its done. The front can go another 2" down and the rear almost 3". I had a blast helping making this car super dope.

First off, loving the progress.

Where are the flares from, and how do they fit?

Did you go with the ground controls?

Did you use the Fairlady mirror diagram to mount them (they should be offset)

Also, I hope theres a plate under the camber plate or more bracing than just that bead. The sheetmetal is thin there and that's a HIGH stress area, don't want to see you rip them out

 

Ill answer what I can:

The coilover kit came from this guy:
http://www.arizonazcar.com/

As far as strenght they have been proven on track to work fine they way they are welded at the moment. The sheet metal underneat is rather thick in this area. It should hold up with no problems.

 

Flares are from MSA. Fenders are cut about 1" in the front and about 1.5" in the rear under those. The flares fit fine once you bend them the right way. Out of the box they looked like they wouldn't fit. However after measuring a thousand times and bowing them out a little they fit fine.
Yes I used the fairlady mirror locations reversed (for LHD of course). View is good. I'll try and post up the diagram I used later.

Big thanks to Re-spec garage for the hookup. Car handles wayyyyy better even without an alignment. This guy knows his stuff!

 

This car just gets better and better

 

Its gonna be amazing

 

I suppose. Better get good at those. You'll be doing mine too.





Man, i wish I could afford the Arizona coils :[
