Looking for 9" advice

Not too much. I got the truck back about a week and a half ago. It's still sitting on the trailer because I got married weekend before last, and I'm in Kauai. Be home Wednesday and will get to work on it.
 
Here are a few pictures.

Slowly chipping away at the list. I got the seat mount made, batteries mounted and the tranny coolers put in.

Good to see you making some progress man i know how easily you can get worn out working on one of these things! What springs did you go with on your coilovers # rating?
 
lookin good, can you fit dual rear calipers with the 15" wheel? Most the 2wd guys go with 16's that ive seen
 
Truck looks awesome man. Work on the 60ft before you add more power. If you can get it to hit 1.4X 60's on a GOOD TRACK (as in a test and tune with other drag-slick vehicles) then after that, work on the power. ;) Talk to Harvey about hooking it up too, I am sure he can give you some good advice for a 2wd.
 
appears that you switched up the suspension some - how does that triangular upper link affect the suspension motion?

I went with 200# springs.

Yeah, I have 15x14 wheels in the back. Gives you a lot of options for slicks.

I had Cole do the wishbone in the rear. The old track bar would hit the 1480 yoke when I took the weight off the suspension. I havent checked the suspension travel yet, but I don't foresee any problems as it follows the arc of the upper 4 link bars.

Thanks, will do.
 
I'm thinking about just slapping it together enough for Ponci's Diesel days. It wont be painted or anything but I really want to make a pass, and there isn't much in the way of making it run right now.
 
Its alive!

That video sucks. This one is slightly better.
