    Don Goughnour's Mid engine A/Competition Coupe body in background also ran as an A/Dragster without the body.

    Made up this little fixture before cutting the front axle. Works great, fully adjustable for width and drop. Cheap too. Maybe this will help someone out there. ✌️ IMG_20230818_173756405~2.jpg
