    Thanks Don.
    One of the things I'm debating still is if I run the band, or smooth that entire section out, give it a aerodynamic look.
    If I go with the band I'll let you know, I remember it being a pita to get out.

    It's currently set at 7 degrees with the frame level. of course this may change once I can get the sub frame finished, (which I can now do because I have the frame), then get the body together to figure out the frame, and body rake.

    I'm still determined to finish this project, it is amusing all of the additional werk I am doing on this one. Alot of back asswards stuff I have to do because of having so little to start with, but I have learned a TON of new things, and know I'll learn a ton more before she's done, which is the most enjoyable part right now.

    This is just my opinion on this issue. It's has been disgust here a few times and opinions vary. So here is mine, most cars sit at 2 to 4 degrees of rake. So if you add that to your caster, which I like to be around 7 or 8 degrees, your cross member would wind up at 9 to 12 degrees. I like a lot of caster, the car tracks better going down the road and it returns quicker after making a turn. The negative side of this is it is a little harder to turn the wheel at real slow speeds. You want correct caster without putting anything in a bind in your front end.
