And make the frontend tilt or lift of too!I plan to add-on to the existing in the Opel.
Adding to the existing roll bar will enable me to modify the dashboard so I can gain clearance so I can change the manifold/carb. Plus, extending the roll bar into the engine compartment will allow me to remove the inner fender wells (unibody design) and remount the front shocks, radiator support, etc
That's probably my one complaint with my Speedway axle, the instructions. I've still got some pieces leftover that I don't know why they came with the kit. Not sure what they are, or where they would go because the instructions don't give a detailed list of parts and pieces.Good start. The Speedway kit is lacking as far as instructions, but it goes together well.

Yep Vall !!!! You know what I'm up to WITHOUT me saying !!!!And make the frontend tilt or lift of too!![]()
Is it possible you can cut them out and build a support from either the roll cage, or firewall to the ends of the frame rail area? That would retain the support, and also give you something you could weld tabs to for supporting whatever is on the fenderwells now. Also might allow some heat to exit the engine bay, and the tilt could be done then!Yep Vall !!!! You know what I'm up to WITHOUT me saying !!!!
Those inner fender wells prevent me from doing "lots" of things that I eventually plan to do.
The way the inner wells support and hold things it's not like I can just cut them out. In addition to supporting the front shocks there is all kind of stuff hanging on them (Line Lock -Brake Lines - Cool Can - etc). Plus it's not like I just unbolt them & away I go. They are welded to the frame and main body/cowl of the car.

In addition to changing the way the shocks are mounted & making the front end tilt I also plan to change the radiator support and one day (hopefully sooner than later) a "straight front axle".
This car is screaming "I NEED a tilt front end & straight front axle" !!!!
