So cool man! Been wanting to make one of these for so long but haven't quite come up with enough shoes yet. Got anymore you'd be willing to throw in a flat rate box if I threw ya some money?

One more teaser, rear needs to settle about an inch, but the front is still up on jackstands. I'm sure once I get all the jeep's weight fully on the suspension it should be just about perfect.

Very nice, I have that setup too but I am using the stock shackles trying to keep the lift height down to about 5 inches on 35's. Make sure you dont torque the spring bolts and shackle bolts till it is sitting on its own weight.

This is what consumes most of my time outside of the jeep. Just finished up the car, final practice was this weekend before the season starts on April 1st. The car came out great in my opinion. Put down some really good laps yesterday and scrubbed in some new tires. Going to be a great season.
Here's the other two cars were running, all part of the same team. These two still need to get the vinyl finished. They are naked for practice.

Race Cars? Very cool. Very all-around automotive love. You'll have to give us more updates as things progress on them/the season.
Care to share any details? Are they all "the same?" Engine/suspension/etc. setup? Do you race all three at once, or is at least one a backup? Are they in different classes? My ADD is getting overloaded...

No, I don't lick fish.
No hurry man. I've got plenty to keep me busy.
All the same class (super stocks), they have to all use the same sealed chevy crate motors with a richmond 2 speed trans.

They are pretty mild in terms of a crate motor, makes for a pretty level playing field and really good racing though. Suspension setup and tires play a big part as well as driver skill obviously.
We won the track championship last year, 10 race season and 4 individual race wins, worst finish was 4th.
