    Not too late to switch to an F-body style 2-link+torque arm & panhard. Packaging is 'way easier.
    I might run shorter diagonal 4-link bars, or just encroach on the seating area a bit. The big trick is actually keeping the car from looking like a 4x4.

    Yeah, when I looked at it...it just isn't balanced. I want to keep the wheelbase stock though.

    Remember, I want to cut up a C4 Corvette for that.

    Might all be for nothing, lay-offs are coming and I might be out of a job. That means I might end up selling everything I own and returning to school.

              • I'm actually going to take this as an opportunity to sell everything and go back to school to pursue a dream.

                  that's it, go to school long enough so that it's no longer a dream... my wife suggested I go back to school to finish my mech.engineer degree..... She quickly retracted that suggestion when I got that axe-murderer glaze over my eyes...

                    Hmmm?? you went to skewl a long time to be a lawyer.. Didn't you try to be something else besides a smart ass? That requires schooling I mean...

                      perhaps the SA was caused by all the skewlling?

                        I wish you the best of luck with it. Sometimes hitting the reset button is the right thing to do. On occasion, shit happens for a reason, could be the best thing to happen to you!

                            I never sent my ass to school...

                            Back to the point.. Sometimes life throws you doggy tootsie rolls, what you do with them makes you a better person for it.. Flaming bags?

                            • I like what Beagle said.

                              Don't know if you believe in fate, or that "He" has a plan for us, or whatever - but sometimes we'd never know what's behind door number 2 if door number 1 didn't close on us.
