There is a video from the coverage of the GatorNationals a few years ago that shows the car before we made the changes, in slow motion. The car looks nothing like that now, even coming down from a wheelie bar bending moon shot.
Where do you buy longer ball joints ? Would they work on a 66-67 Chevy ll ?

Thank You Kenney Kelley
