Sorta. The rear was easy, it’s just some Maximum Motorsports adjustable lower control arms jacked up. Then I modified the shock mounts (flipped upside down) on the axle to get the travel back.

Up front there are 1.5" aluminum spacers between the QA1 tubular k-member and the frame. Then, to get strut travel back I made some somewhat sketchy strut extensions, and am using MM cater / camber plates up top. Also had to lengthen the steering shaft, and make taller motot mounts to get that back in place. The alignment guy had zero problems.

Right now I’m in the process of swapping out the stock springs for some coilovers, as the stock springs rode very stiff. The coilover springs are much softer and I will be able to adjust ride height, the bad thing is they transfer all the weight and forces into the strut tower instead of the frame. I’ve got a totally redneck idea for addressing that.

If you are bored, tons of pics of the build here:

I love that thing. When I built the 68 I was using a harbor freight flux core, going to the Hobart was mind blowing.

No kidding! It’s a great little unit for not a lot of money.
