Larry,
1) Where did you get the frontline kit, and how much was it?
Larry et al.,
2)Do you know the measurements/specs for the Spax shocks they sell for the
back of 1/2 elip. spridgets? The reason I ask is that they seem quite
expensive, and the kit with shocks works out to a hundred bucks more than
the shocks alone (just for those brackets?!?!). I can fab the brackets,
piece-o-cake, so why not buy more reasonably priced shocks? I can even get
super duper chromed racing shocks for less than the Spax (no, I'm not
putting chrome shocks on it, just a fer instance...)
