You are something else! Great progress so far!

The rear frame kick ups are made and tacked in along with the upper spring mounts. I'm using helper coil springs that I got for five bucks at the last swap meet. I know they will be very stiff but I'll need that because only 1 1/2" inches is available in the wheel well for suspension travel. I can adjust the rear frame height 2" in case a larger tire is used or the springs settle. I'll rely on the big slicks with low pressure to provide some tire suspension .

Thank you for all the comments. I really don't work fast, just steady.

Looking forward to the day the Bantam and your buddies modified Stude are side by side at the drags.
