Started on some painfully simple and somewhat last minute rear shock towers. The idea behind the bolt-on shock mount design was to still fit in the 4600 rulebook, which states you can’t cut through the body for any reason other than a cage, and the stock shock mounts were very low and limited travel; this has a much higher mounting position, so I can Fit a longer shock without sacrificing ground clearance. That being said, I’ve pretty much moved on from ever racing, but the shocks are in place, and I don’t really want to change them up right now. Plus, if it works, it works.
Gonna chop the ears off the brackets since they’re gonna be in the way, weld everything together, and I figure I’ll do a bar across the top to connect both sides.

Also, put a downturn directly on the end of the cat, (because cheap/easy/available), cut out the other front inner wheelwell, and kinda figured out where I need to make the battery fit. Messed with the hydro assist cylinder location as well, and proceeded to dump whatever fluid was in my steering box/pump all over my garage floor, so that’s neat.
