So today im working on my front end suspension, taking measurements & trying to figure things out. The way im designing my upper control arm brackets is going to make me lose Power Steering. The Bar Support that goes from the firewall to the core support is where the Honda UCA will be mounted. The problem is on the passenger side. The Bar is in line with the power steering pulley & the front Mid Motor Mount Plate that the power steering bolts to. This also means i wont have the upper mount, which i had already planned to scrap anyways. Now i have to modify that front cover & scrap the power steering. Oh well its all worth having the only neon on the ground!!

Then i started working at Concrete Plant of ours that was nothing but a gravel lot. Then i decided i had to get a daily so i wouldn't F the neon up. THats when i decided to cut it up. Don't get me wrong though, im not doing all this work for it to just sit in my garage for the perfect day. I'm still gonna drive that bitch as often as possible

Which means a whole new sub frame would have to be made & im just not willing to do all that for bigger wheels. As long as i can drive it Daily, if i wanted to, & it lays......i will be happy

My car is a Mac Suspension car. I used Mid 90 Honda Upper Control Arms. Mac struts you really aren't suppose to use cylinders, but i t can be done. I'm planning on mounting my bags directly on the UCA just like some of the guys on here have done with their hondas to slam them.

I made the necessary modifications to the hub mount so that it wouldn't conflict with the UCA & the Bag Plate. I also went ahead & welded the bag plate on got everything ready to start mocking up the rest of the front suspension. while i was doing all that, My boy was busy cutting out the Passenger Side Strut Tower. Tomorrow i gotta go by the Metal Yard to pick up some more Round Bar & i have to go to Pasadena Trailer to pick up a Tandem Axle Trailer Fender for the front end. Here's a few more pics too BTW
It tucks Rim now in the front!! Haha thats cause it goes much lower than before. It goes almost 1.5" Past the bottom of the body. But thats also without the CVs mounted up
