That IS a cool project! Lot of work to be done... but that can be good, in the end, because it gets done the way you actually want it, and you're...
Well, that makes sense, in a certain way, and I realize that would be -A- good approach, but the initial question still remains. I do really want...

Here's mine. It's not even here yet (transporter nightmare)... I'm still trying to figure some things out myself... All I'm certain of is that it...
What I'm wondering is why not just run the original ball-and-socket setup?
Nice frame pics... it'll be helpful in my trying to figure out all the brackets I'll have to be fabricating... With those wishbones - why not just...
Hey, it's good to hear from all the other Mass. people on here anyway! Tricky stuff to deal with.... So here's another one: the title has the...
