Do you have any body panel(s) fitment trouble yet? With that frame getting all knotted up I would think that would become an issue.

Yes, that's my car from the October 2006 lonestar shootout in Houston. It was running good that weekend till I twisted the rear yoke ears right off the driveshaft!

Believe it or not, none of that twisting was body flex, as the car had full subframe connectors. The twist was all in the rear suspension, bottoming the right rear spring and hyperextending the left rear spring on launch.

Since that time, I have added the rear sway bar and a 6 point roll bar.....also changed the rear springs around some.... Body roll is now all but gone. Too bad, that was a fun ride while it lasted!
