1500 Horsepower AWD EL_CAMINO Front Suspension Design.
I design the front suspension mounts for the AWD Ford Godzilla EL-Camino
We fabricated, upper and lower control arm mounts that allow for Pro-Dive and roll center adjustments. Come join us as we build a fully functional 1500 horsepower Awd street-race car!

That’s awesome! Glad you enjoy it working on the next one as we speak!
Very cool! I know how hard it is to film all this as you’re going, and then to explain it all on top of that. thanks for taking the time to do so!

Yea! It’s a huge learning curve but every time I make one I learn something to bring to the next ! So we will be getting smoother and smoother haha
Love it man keep it up, a guy up the road from me has this same El Camino sitting in his yard and it makes me think of your build every time i go past it! I've built tube chassis rock crawlers and now I'm working on a 59 chevy Apache that i would love to build a new chassis for with vet suspension.

I think you're going to find essential no noticable difference in feel with the control arm adjustability but it's definitely a cool experiment

He is amazing we talked for 2 hours one day and for him to do that and not know me is epic!! So he is one solid oak…
Already a fan, you got some skills bro. Hit me up for a sweet turbo air to air set up . That body has enough room. To mount the cold side filter boxes ( turbo inlet) straight thru the inside headlight and flange or turbo clamp the pressure side to the air to air( intercooler) running the headers up and forward for the hot side, and dump the exhaust under the header. This keeps your charge air temp as cold as possible. Wrote this same thing to Finnegan about his caddy, but he decided to mount the molten jets at the firewall and the cold squirrels almost touching the header. Give his show a watch about the caddy header and imagine the turbos replacing the inner headlights. Love your style, hope to see some spinners out fromt of an awd elk.
Great video! You did an awesome job going in depth on exactly what and how your doing things
