Just a couple shots of the sectioned coilovers, larger swaybar and what I did for added strength, rebuilt steering rack, adjustable rods and LCA's, poly bushings, a refurbished rim, etc.. Sorry about the size, I'm not very computer savvy, but I think for a closer look, click on the photo..

That last comparison shot next to the SUV is both hilarious and awesome.How bout a rear engine conversion?

I can imagine the smile the gas station owner has when you guys pull up with the V16 and those big Hemi's. cha-ching!lol!Awesome collection!Love the plum crazy purple cuda..

Looks like a waste of carbon fiber,IMO...

Very cool,but I'll keep my 240,and hold out for the new Trans Am....

I think the guys at GM are laughing their arses off for when the show bombs and not giving liscencing for one of their vehicles.I was a fan back in the day,but they lost all cred for the choice of the Rustang over the Firechicken.

I can see that as being the reason for it now.Thanks johnc,it was driving me nuts wondering what it was for.

Mine is about an inch from the bushing/sidewall of the bushing channel,just like the schematic in the catalog,and isn't connected to anything.Is it a safety precaution if the steering rack slides from side to side?I'm going to leave it right where it is,it's just making me scratch my head wondering what the heck it does!

I don't have pics yet of mine,But it is exactly like the one in the Black Dragon catalog 2006 Fall edition,page 84,just to the left of the #10 LH urethane rack mount bushing.It isn't in the Modern Motorsports catalog,and really dosen't seem to serve a purpose...

I was wondering what the U-clamp on my '71 Z on the steering rack was for,or if I'm the only one with one.

Although it still may be loud,a good shop vac with a good filter works well for the inital first clean and the crevises.It won't blow everything around as much,just keep the filter clean.Pour a small amount of water in the bottom of the vac to collect some of the dust before in gets blown out of the exaust end.Another loud method that dosen't use the compressor is a leafblower.Works good for blowing out the entire garage and just about everything in it.Floor,shelving,toolbox,Z,etc.

Nice job.Thought I'd share mine as well.I used Rust bullet after cleaning the welds,and after the cage is installed,a uniform coat of 3M seam sealer.

Try a heat gun w/ a fairly sharp chisel,and acetone for the remaider of the residue.Worked good for me.Wear a respirator,and have fun,because taking that stuff off rubs.

Carbon Fiber.Take a look at 240Hoke's Z and you'll be sold in a heartbeat...

RATT,The Crue,Salty Dog,Danzig,Dangerous Toys,I can go on and on and on,and on......:rockon::rockon:

If you're thinking about sectioning,new springs,struts,TIG welding the sections back together,etc,which is a small project in itself,you might as well save up a couple extra bucks and install the coilovers.From adjustability to larger range of tire/wheel combinations,sectioning and not installing coilovers seems redundant,IMO of course.I second that point on searching suspension/strut thread FAQ,and researching,and researching....
