Also trying out some new parts, and I included a knuckle setup I am going to try using the Tamale aluminum knuckles for the Formula front end. I took a detailed pic of the shims and orientation incase anyone wants to try it out as well. My feeling is that it will give a more precise steering feel over the soft plastic old skool knuckles, as well as add strength and ease of installation.

Ignore the messy wiring... When I had more time to devote to racing I cared more about clean wiring. Nowadays it's all about a race car!
Nice ride !

No need to apologize for the wiring.
That's a race car, not a shelf queen
