Improvements

I'll start off telling you that I'm trying to put back on the road an old stock bodied 1984 CMC speedster.
I'm going for an old school hot rod that can be driven to and from the track so bear this in mind and understand this is a work in progress. That being said, this is an approximate list of the things that have been done.

For the rear end:

I ordered blindchickenracing.com 1.5" Narrowed Trailing Arms (NTA), 930 stubs, bearings, seals, tatummotorsports.com hubs with rotors, and vargia calipers.
Assembled the 1.5" NTA only to find the bearing carriers were eccentric, machined them round. Reassembled and fitted the 1.5" NTA's to the car only to find I still needed more clearance. Cut 0.75" off of the inboard pivot end of the NTA and rewelded it to the outside edge, giving me a 2.25" NTA.
Reassembled and fitted the units, only to find that I had 2 NTA's built with +1

Super nice designing...keep us updated!
