Well I have bit the bullet sold the fron Weltmeister 22mm bar, and picked up a Nascar Hand me down.

As of today all the parts are in except the bearings, I will have them tomorrow, TSC (Tractor Supply Company) has the parts I need.

I liked smart racings graphs so much I had to make my own. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Foot Pound numbers are the upper column, size is across the bottom. With the arms I am running these are the rates I can achieve.

Mr. H. Ross Perot, would be proud of me.

DWD set in and tonight, I removed 20 pounds tar from the floor, for some reason I had spots with 2-3 layers of tar board (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Trekkor thanks for the tip on the air chisel, set to 30 psi and stuff flew off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I started the Engmann inner log reinforcement kit, I seam filled the fender gap on the drivers side. And I built a set of rear toe adjusters. I got tired of using a clamp to hold my toe until I got the bolts tighten. This way is much easier, thank you Brant for the idea. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Inner arm ear reinforcement will be done this winter after engine and tranny drop. I have two more events, checked them over really well knock on wood have not started to tear yet. Next event I will probably rip it right out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Luckily for me all chassis stiffing takes one point, I already took that point a long time ago. Only thing that can be dinged now would be if I caged the car with suspension points tied into the cage. I was busting butt, forgot to take pictures of all this stuff, except this.
