Beautiful race car Any chance of seeing a pic of the bracket mounting the Watts link on the 9" housing? FWIW I would enjoy pages of pics of this chassis

I'll see if I have any shots of that. The tube frame '69 Vette that Woody is building me will have the same set up. It will be a month or two before we get to that though.

great thanks. It looks like there is an adjustment for the pivot as well as the arms to adj the RC much like a track bar. There are tons of cheep late model chassis laying around. Squared up on weight and geometry with a switch to a Watts link it seems like they would make great track toys. A nice trans with a out of spec crate engine, a RR pan, Not nearly as nice as your stuff but more like a hand me down set up for us getto kids!
