Kenny, The Fred Warren car is on a BFG poster hanging in one
of the offices here....it certainly does the rear reveal justice. In fact, it was our original inspiration.

Regarding the links, what you described is the direction that we are currently heading. The rear shocks/bag combo is too long to stand up so we are laying them down and articulating thru a bellcrank mechanism. We havent got the sway bar laid in yet. The Bob Lowe car had the lower link attached into the center of the frame rail....kinda interesting. Right now, we have to get the local laser cutter company to make us some C-notches with more clearance since the centerline of the rear axle is approx. at the top of a stock frame rail. The body has a raised floor anyway (but not raised enough for stand-up shocks).

At the front, the goal is to have a minimal of stuff out in the wind. Keeping the shock/bag under the hood an inside the frame rails is a challenge but is do-able. The trick is to get all the links correct so it doesnt go into a bind during articulation. Using the forged aluminum axle limits us because it is not weldable.....cant add tabs and a mount for the steering rack, etc. Looking at the bump steer, mounting the rack to the axle eliminates it but we havent made a decision yet. Aluminum axles look neat. We bough a tube axle to play with also.

thanks for the suggestions, they do help.
