Too Low...is There Such a Thing?

[Phil Dally]

If I cannot get it off my racecar trailer that is designed for super low cars...YES!!

Hulkster went on the trailer okay as the sellers house had a downhill driveway.

Fabricating new shock perches to make it more practical and also adjustable.

The original perches were 1/2" thick (overkill) new perches are 3/8" thick.

While on the topic of perch...here's one I caught in the San Simeon surf.

If it won't load on your trailer you need longer ramps.
At one of my old customers with a parking garage in Dallas I used to have to drive out at a 45 degree angle to the exit to keep from getting high centered.

[Phil Dally]

My ramps are already twelve feet long...that's not the problem.

4-link was installed to low in the chassis...those brackets next.

[Phil Dally]

Finished new shock perches and the stance came out perfect.

Perches still need to be trimmed up and corners rounded off.

Plus I'll use racecar 15X4 rally wheels with shorter front tires.

And I have a set of 15X8 rallys that will match with the fronts.

Ay Phi,

I thought brick's are supposed to be slow!

Very cool! Have you done more work since your last post you could post photos of? Do Corvans have a frame or was that put in by the last owner who bagged it?

[Phil Dally]

Nothing new lately except powder coating the rear wheels...tires next!

Did make a deal with Mercedes_marauder for a 300CD 5 cylinder diesel.

I hope it's in the back of my truck with Hulkster on trailer for VairFest.

No Corvair has a frame as they are all unibody...seller did frame work.

It is so me to want to put a diesel engine in a Corvan...super oddball.

Just my opinion of course, but I'd sure rather have a panhard than that thin triangulation bar, particularly with those offset mounting tabs.

[Phil Dally]

When all the hardware is 5/8"-18 grade 5 and the offset tabs are 1/2 steel plate "thin" describes nothing about this 4-link.

"Total Cost Involved" was the kit supplier and they kinda know what their doing. I invite you to come look at it in person!!

Phil, do I see a turbo on that diesel?

[Phil Dally]

Not yet...as you know I have a couple!!
