Congrats on the new frame...

Wow.. you already got it painted.. Have you already finished the fabrication? if not, you will probably need some touch up paint before you are finished.

Keep the pics coming

well im almost done with it :mrgreen: and ill post pics of it when i get done and i figure out how to do that :wink:
and i set my torsion for it to be soft but its not sittin on the stops and that is taking away from my ground clearance, how do i set the torsion to be soft and still have ground clearance, on my 2 seater i had 17 to 18 inches in the back and on my 1 seater i only have 13 or 14
how much ground clearence do most of the 1 seaters have??

I like mine yo be about 1/4 from setting on the stops if u want it on the stops than it going to be stiff.I also run adjustable shocks so i can build them to do what i need them to.

Some people notch the spring plates to get a little or cut the stops off and run limit straps. And it depends on what cv's you are running on how much angle you can put on them.

You aint gonna get anymore than 13" without breakin joints if you run bus joints on that buggy.
Remember when I told you that you'd HAVE to get 930's to run a frame with the torsion/tranny set in it like ours?? I wasn't bs'in you. :wink:
