wow thats one of the cleanest 1st gens iv seen
X2. Doing a nice clean job with your rig. Looking good.

good looking build just build a rear shock hoop and use the longer shocks, make the shocks sit like /\ this and you should be fine.
You seem to know what you're doing, but I thought I'd just throw in this FYI for you or anyone else that might be doing this. I've found that about 29-30 degrees seems to work the best for the rear shocks.


I'm glad I saw this, I was planning on using the Sky shock hoop on my '87 :thumbs:
just curious, How thick is the plate you used?
1/8" or thicker should do it. And at least 3/4"-1" wider all the way around.

3 CAT scans a MRI and some time with the shrink and it's comfirmed. I'm just not right in the head.
