Fatman control arms...no, not at this time.  I cut a wedge out of the upper control arms on the Raunch Wagon.  This modification really helped with the alignment numbers especially positive caster.  Since I had already done this modification, I installed new upper control arm bushings and modified the upper control arm on the Custom.  Another benefit of the modification is the rear, upper control arm bushing is further from the header.  If the upper control arm bushings fail again due to heat or the quality of the rubber, I'll change to tubular control arms with a better bushing material.

I really like the black color but have found it very illusive to get detailed photos.  All welded seams were filled.  The drip rails shaved.  The front and rear window stainless was eliminated.

When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

Gary I love that bird dash in there. Always thought they were one of the better dashes around!

Thanks for all your thoughts.

The dash came out really nice but very hard to work on.

This is the first time I've noticed you eliminated some seams........headlight surround, eyebrows, etc. I'd sure like to see pics of the car in full posing mode.

rich...I have seen the car...it is nothing short of a rolling work of art!
