as I stated, I had a typed out a pretty lengthy post but it seems that the site was down or not responsive for about 30-45 minutes and it didn't post----
My shorter version probably doesn't get the same results because I had mentioned that in some post you had said you were a parts changer or something similar(Ihave went thru all 21 pages looking at pics, reading posts, and reading your other posts on this site twice now )
I had referanced several specific posts as to what was shown with some detail (posts 60,86,221 are just 3 that I happen to remember the post number, but I won't go back again) I do remember that one of them showed some wire wheels that showed the required backspacing for your spindles and there were other post/pics showing some other wheels you got and painted that were totally out of spec for your needed backspacing except all the talk was about the bright red paint job you and how well oven cleaner works as a cleaning agent.
There was different posts about bump steer and wobble and that you didn't have any, then a post saying you did have bump steer and later that you hadn't had any-----
there were pics and posts about the pitman arm and how it was welded without any reinforcement
You talked about kingpin bushings upside down, tight steering, changed steering boxes mounting 3 times, oversized king pins, welded on back side of axle but no mention of what the caster was set at??????no cross link to position the axle???somewhere you mentioned you had mounted a stabilizor????

I sincerely believe you have a rod with a unique look and have been keeping this site up to speed on its build for 3 years now---there are several posts with comments about the work being done and your posts have either disregarded them or been lightly dicussed-------

Your comments about the NM and Co -------------wow, everybody thats trying to license a rod will be going out there-----

I think maybe you and others that aren't happy with my posts should go back and review the entire 21 pages plus your other posts here and look at the fab details up close----areas od particular concern are where suspension links to frame that are single shear un reinforced tabs---

And I won't even go into the fact that there was a lengthy discussion about the motor mounts breaking and that after a lengthy period you discovered that your trans was low and you found the trans mount broken also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I will not go into any of my qualifications------many on here know of my background and might want chime in but preferr to keep the site civil as I do to--------------however, I cannot set here and read 3 years of a build so blatantly substandard that it shouldn't be allowed off the trailer at a car show--------


I just read Rogers post and a specific item/area that I want to point out that even he will probably agree is that on your rear end assy mounting(there were some posts on the rear) it will fail at the mounting point to the frame or the rod end of the links as the assy is in a terrific bind on every turn/leaning corner or unequal weight transfer corner to corner
