that is slightly lower than settled ride height which will be around 70mm front 95mm rear when finally set, and yes track/race car travel will be very limited 1100 lbs front springs 950 lbs for the rear massive 2in front arb 1/1/2in rear so very stiff got a fair bit further with the plug it now is mostly smoothed off ready for tissue skin.
shocks are penske with remote gas cylinder 3 way adjustable

long time since i posted been busy restoring two wedges plus power steering to a griff etc. etc. but now having a concerted effort on the cerb finally finished the power steering column and the mounting for the power unit and lots of work to the n/s plugs for the new wings also laid up the bonnet with the cooling duct for the rad pics on that to follow but pics should give you a flavour of the work.

rob it starts off being done by eye to get a basic shape certainly when on the first stage building up the foam prior to filling and fairing, then we scribe vertical lines at precise distances along the (in this case wing) using a laser level nowadays used to use a plumb bob and use the shadow cast by a lamp, then make a template of that section and form the opposite wing to that shape at that station not easy but with practise not so bad.we will be performing this very soon so will take loads of pics and post on here.

more work done finishing touches to thew plugs plus have nearly finished the air duct to carry the air from the rad out the bonnet outlet developing takes a lot of cardboard cutting etc. before the ally is finally cut but all worked out well.

last update till the new year finished the air scoop for the rad, cleaned up the door sill mould and layed up the new sill 2 gelcoats and 12ozs of mat, then cut out the naca ducts for the engine intakes into the bonnet the moulds for the original place will be cut out and the bonnet faired in, next fixed the underside scoops in place, now got to make up the slash cut joints to mate up when the bonnet is in place.
