Yes, I'm ordering the Lower control arms with the bag mounts and will fabricate the uppers and I'll run the rear bags on top of the rear control arms.

I would have used Shockwaves but they just aren't in the budget. I contacted Aron at AIM and he helped me size the front bags and will help me with the rear as soon as I have all the geometry worked out. I'm looking for a decent ride and handling.

I'm stalled again. Seems to be the story of my car building life. I'm trying to sell the old engine so I can buy some more parts and spending any play money I have for this project getting the silver bug all buttoned up. Having to take a 10% pay cut didn't help any either. So I'm back to paper car building for a while until I get the funds to move forward again.
Currently looking for a part time job to make up the loss.

Hey Paul,
Sorry to hear about the job... Just try your best to do a little work on the car so it doesn't come to a complete stop... It sure is a LOT harder to start up a project from a dead stop than just trickling along... It helps keep your head in the game also!!
