    It is a rotisserie that mounts to the axle and front wheel on one side. Take off the wheels, mount this up, and then you can roll the car onto its side.

    Stripped out the front suspension today, everything came apart like it was new, the nuts came off the strut rods, kinda surprised me.

    Very nice! I know my bumpers and all other parts have came off with a wrench! It's great when that happens! Lol. What are you doing for brakes?

    I have two options for brakes, I'm a bit of a hoarder...I have a Wilwood kit, and Mustang Cobra brakes.

    Good work. Always nice when you don't have to get the torch out.

    They are 285/40/17 on the rims at the moment, I may try a little wider, since it's a 10" rim
