Ill have more photos soon

[crazyhorse]

looking good!!!! nice work.

[englertracing]

Double thumbs up! What's it for?

[steveshawjr]

4cyl modified at my home track. is a lm chassis buy we can only run a 3link. and no coil overs so we have to change some mounting points. the old rules relay limited the class to mustangs and there no longer in the area so in 2010 they came out with a mod 4 and now thats what we run ..

[Headhunter]

They let you have all that then say no coil overs.... Really does not make any sense as the coil overs are not that much difference than the price of shocks/springs/ perches/ mounts / jacking bolts and harware... Maybe even less depending on the shock rules you have. Then I see you already have the threaded shock so you can run coil overs... What was the reasoning behind that rule?

[mark41]

good looking stuff!!!!!!!! what (who's?) kind of chassis is that?

Where did the A Arms in the lower photo come from. Thanks.

says in house on top of pic! on left top!

[steveshawjr]

mark. its a ron miller race cars chassis ( proven chassis) we ordered it without the front cross and all the mounts as we have to change them all for the right geometry anyhow because of the 13" wheels


that threaded shock is just a mock up shock they have to be a smooth steel bodied shock.

[steveshawjr]

a arms are easy lol the cross shaft is made with 1x1 with 2 5/8 nuts welled to the end. the ball joint holder is flat stock cut to shape . the arms are 1x1 bent in a hyd muffler tube bender ( you can go about 50 deg befor the 1x1 kinks) wel 2 hime nits to the end spin inn the himes bolt them to the cross shaft ...

we have a whole 20-25 bux in an upper a arm.. we do have a jig made for it aswell as the lowers.

[mark41]

Steve, keep the pics coming it looks good!!! let us all know how it rides out....

[BVS40FL]

I am VERY interested in how this car turns out. I have toyed with the idea of just starting with a Late Model chassis and adapt the suspension points and motor mounts to a 4 cylinder.
Hopefully you will be able to post more photos.

you can all follow my racing and so on over on face book www.facebook.com/SteveShawRacing

[steveshawjr]

here is our custom motor mounts they differ a bit side to side but its fairly simple to make .. running this way you need to have an electric fuel pump or a ranger style pump.

[car62]

just curious as to why the fuel cell is so far up in the air?..is it a rule? is it because its a dirt car?

[steveshawjr]

theres a few reasons

1. its easier to fill
2. its a dirt car want the weight transfer
3. it up high enough that if a car where to go under me it should not get hit.
4. clearance issues because rules to keep it in a safe place

[BVS40FL]

That thing makes me not want to take my old crap back to the track this year until I can afford something like that. I'm racing against stuff like that with a stock floorboard and firewall car . I didn't evolve with the masses and now I'm about to become EXTINCT.
Really like the car. Keep adding Photos

[matt07]

i wouldnt say that as im sure jr would agree with me we race with stock body mustangs and are just as fast if not faster depending on track. For us mustangs are getting scarces so when you do find one it cost as much as someones old latemodel or modified chassis. Its a lot easier to work on and fix. Car looks good jr i had a look the other day no one home ricks scared of the cold lol.

[steveshawjr]

sorry guys for the long delay we have been crazy busy working on 5 cars

heres some with the body finaly hung
