Actually, Yes I did. Had just found out my cousins wife died last night. Hit me pretty hard. We were like brothers growing up and I've known her since she was in high school and they started dating. Our kids are in the same age bracket and my heart was breaking for him.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
It does have some axial plunge. Maybe 0.5"-0.75". The amount needed depends on the set up of the 4-link; bar lengths, arc range, static shaft angle, etc. I have mine set up with the lower bars level to the chassis at static ride height.

I'm not in the habit of announcing when I'm out of town. That's why my threads sometimes go dead without explanation. Let me just show a peek of what I've been up to...

Very cool! Work or fun? On a slightly similar note, went to the King Tut exhibit at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle. Caught it before it closed this past weekend. Very cool! BUT, would be waaaay cooler to travel over and see the buildings, excavations, statues, pyramids.

Yes it's Petra, in Jordan, where they shot those Indy scenes. Amazing is an understatement! They say the city is only 1% excavated.
