I'm in the early stages of a different type of build. This will be a rather slow process as there are a number of unique challenges facing me. I hesitate to even share until further along but a good friend (Wally) thinks some may appreciate watching. Just a warning, it may never come to fruition but the journey should be fun.

I'm building new rear control arms for the 'project' GMC and have been working on a method to make the brakes work as a reaction arm setup. This sends the braking action straight to the frame instead of the tire/control arm and makes a tremendous difference in stopping distances- nearly drops stopping distance 50% over the stock system. It's been quite a challenge so far...
