Coil overs are on the way. Found'em on Ebay with a killer BUY IT NOW deal. $20 total with shipping! And their adjustable!
Will prob. start fabbing up the panhard bar tomorrow.coil overs.jpg

[bioniccartsandcustoms]

Coil overs were shipped today. Hope they get here soon.
Built panhard bar today so as soon as coilovers get here I can finish rear suspension and center the rear!

And then the fun begins........ Puttin' Ole SBD together

Any news???

[bioniccartsandcustoms]

Nope.......and I'm bummed. Hopefully they will be here tomorrow. If they show up, I'm gonna try and install tomorrow and will post pics shortly after.
I did get my second rear put back together 8:1's. This'll give me 4 rears and 5 different motors to try and see what combo will work the best.
I am ready to get this thing under its own power! And I got to start on the cage. I'm thinkin bout stickin an old Par-go body on it. The one that the butt end looks like an old 40 Ford Coupe. What ya think?OR

Ok here goes my first attempt at a cool rear suspension setup for my little ClubCar. Or as I like to call her...."SBD"
First pic is with springs cut, and flipped, no shocks

Little did I know that when you drop one this low, Motor hits really bad ON EVERYTHING!! So out comes the Sawz-all and air chisle

Clean up the old leftover welds....

And I say the magic word.......along with some choice other ones and WAALAA!!!rear view.jpg

I don't really care for the down legs that the top of the coilover is mounted to. The material may not be strong enough. I probably will change it.

But the Panhard bar mounts are the frame on one side and the bottom of the spring plate on the other. It works GOOD!Coil over and panhard mount.jpg

Still sittin low but now has about 3-4 inches of travel in the back. Good thing is that after it is built, and weight is on it, I can still adjust the height and travel and tension on the coils.
