| The hard part was thinking up a way that the bags would work without binding up or bending too much. As the lower trailing arm rotates down, the bag will start twisting. So I made brackets on a swivel to take care of this problem. After everything was fabricated , I could take it in and out in 10 minutes. The part that is a little hard is changing over to rack and oinion steering. Modifying the steering column to exit the fire wall in the middle instead of the left side. |

what color is that car painted? Is that just primer black? I'm thinking about painting my car John Deere Blitz Black, which looks similar to that.

| The paint on this car is Rustoleum Satin Black acrylic enamel. I bought it at home depot. It is actual paint that has a satin finish. If you use primer it will fade in the sun. |
