Well if that don't beat all. Jeff put the slicks on tonight and they don't fit????? Looks like the new housing sets back about 3/4" further than the stock 10 bolt. :oops: Never noticed it with the street tires. The slicks have about 4" more runout, just enough to cause a problem. Looks like adjustable tubular control arms are in Jeff's future. So, Jeff is going to see what it will do with street tires. :shock: bummer.

It's been a looooong time since I've been able to work on the "Z", and it might be a little longer before I can get back to it. Stuff keeps coming up, but as long as I'm staying busy (especially times being what they are) I'm NOT going to complain. Sooner or later I'll get some time.

Jeff's got 10 days of vacation to burn so he's doing frame connectors, new exhaust & a tune up, so the "Z" got the boot.

The "Z" is stuck in the corner of the sign shop for a few days

It's been on the stands so long I forgot how looow this unit is. 46" tall :wink:
