Kinda looking a bit Mad Max like. Killer build OP. Nice to see someone putting some time/money into a New Edge again.
Thanks!
It feels more responsive now then before. The front is a lot more rigid due to the sheet metal is now gone and is replaced with tubing that ties the top of the shock towers to the frame rails and now the tubing in the vary front of the car keep the front of the car from twisting under heavy loads. Now that's why I'm assessing the rear of the car now. Almost feels like the front is twitchy, and the rear can't keep up.

I've been thinking of fabbing up a rear diffuser for mine, have you noticed a difference at all with it?
Not yet. I haven't been able to track test it. I'm sure it's doing something because I was driving threw a canyon when I first put it on and there was dirt in the center of the road. The cars in front of me drove over the dirt without picking it up and making a dust cloud, when I drive over the dirt it was almost unbelievable. It threw almost all the dirt into the air! It was so thick that I couldn't see threw it. As soon as I can get it to the track I'll video the string test to see how the air is flowing over it.
Looks alot like the front of my 67 Mustang. I will take some pics and post maybe tomorrow. I did a custom front tube chassis then tied it into the rear of the chassis... My only regret is I did the rear of the car out of square tubing about 10 years ago and the tube front end a couple years ago in the front. Owell I guess. Having no shock towers or strut towers to screw with is a dream come true. Which is exactly what i would do If I redid the front of my GT... no strut towers.
But my car is honestly a driver... a 700hp driver but a driver lol. I rarely take it to the track and I enjoy the hell out of just street driving it... has 180k on the clock lol
