nope, the side skirts and wide body kit actually finally showed up last week, he's picking out the rims now, and as soon as I have them I can start getting everything mocked up for the subframe I have to build...

It looks like a fun project. It's always good to do something else occasionally.

Did anybody look at the front end of this little car? It is flash, so I could not borrow the picture, but I did capture a partial screen shot - pics 5 and 6 of 18? Anybody ever think of doing something like that on a buggy? Pros / cons? Go back to my corner?

Cantilever setups were seen in the 80's (I believe) out in the desert.

Our first off roader attempt had a cantilever rear five link setup.
