Driving Line VOLUME IV ISSUE 1 | WINTER 2018 | Page 64

Out back, the new car will retain a solid rear axle, but will have
upper trailing arms securing the King coilover and bypass shock.
This trailing-arm setup still accounts for a tremendous amount of
wheel travel and uses triangulated lowers to negate the need for
a rear track bar.
Before the first piece of tubing was cut, the new chassis was
rendered on the computer. You may notice there are limited pieces
of bent tubing on the car. This results in an incredibly strong chassis
that can be more easily repaired if a section was to get damaged.
The new car will also have a more recognizable shape. Going
with a fiberglass grille and hood that’s very Jeep Wrangler-esque
in appearance, the new car will more easily stand out in the more
function-over-form 4400 class. There is also an assortment of
aluminum panels that will finish out the look.
