Thanks Jerry! Seems like this is really the only weak point of these cars. Gotta finish the reinforcements, then the windshield and itll be ready for powder!

Got the chassis all disassembled for the most part and started adding reinforcements. The only area I am reinforcing is the pivot tube area. other than that, this chassis has held up incredibly. In addition to adding reinforcements, I am trying to clean up some of my old welds from years ago...

Saw a few compound set ups on 4G63's back when i was heavily into the Evo/DSM racing. seemed to work pretty well!

I safety wire my CV boots instead of using clamps

you guys have VIN stickers? :ROFLMAO:

Few misc updates from the weekend: One of the spindles was anodized black. it had been used by Tatum at a show on display years ago, and wanted to take the anodizing off. So went to town on it with a can of oven cleaner and took it most of the way off! Also got some bolts and cut them down...

Yes the Tatum spindles are meant for a lower uniball and upper heim. the Black Widow, Spyder, Evolution etc are all that way as well. The spacing was to keep my geometry all the same. appears to be 0 bumpsteer!

05-06ish for me. Prior to that was always Gordons or Buttercup.

just to make it clear, the tie rods are the same length. the camera just did some goofy shit LOL

Over the weekend got the chance to start mocking up the Tatum spindles. Ordered a bunch of hardware from McMaster and made/ordered some spacers to get the geometry to match up exactly. The original Wuerth Spindles and the Tatum Spindles are VERY similar in geometry which is nice. everything...

@ranman5608 said the same thing... I was a couple wheelies away from calling the snow cat!! lol

Thanks!! That was a huge reason why i initially bought this bar. always like the styling, wheelbase, and how light and nimble they are! although ive added a ton of weight to it! LOL

Nice car! Seen that one at the drags multiple times looks like it moves out pretty well!

Well finally got around to starting to pull the front end apart for the overhaul. This time, it was the driver spindle that was cracked. Both bolts (tie rod and kingpin bolt) were bent, and the spindle was almost cracked in 2 pieces LOL. I will be posting pics of the Tatum spindle mock up...

this attention to detail is top notch! 🤩
