damn thats the best design I've seen , it appears there is probably some sort of receiving well on the inside for those long cross tube ends ?

Those are fenders we have used on Ariel Atom builds we have done here. The arms slide in the holes on the side and then are secured to the fender on the inside with epoxy. They are nice and sturdy.

Are the tire tread patterns supposed to be in opposite directions? Just curious...
for as long as they are going to last....it’s doesn’t matter....

Well I have a new development on the homefront that has stopped me from hurrying to get finished yesterday. I talked to my wife Thursday around lunch and she said she had a bad headache and a 100 degree fever. She thought it was a sinus infection and that it wasn't a big deal. She was going to take some sinus meds and motrin and go to bed. I called her yesterday morning and she sounded terrible.... She said she still thought it was sinuses and went in to her office to run commission reports. She called me at 12 on her way home and was really hurting all over and had the worst headache she has had in a long time.
We all know where this is going.... I called our doctor and he sent in an order to the local hospital for her to get a Covid test. And he also sent in some Colchicine R (joint and gout pain med) to the pharmacy. She got the test and we will know Monday if she has Covid or not.
I have been in South Carolina since Thursday of last week. Which has been exactly what Dave and I had kinda planned due to needing to powder coat parts and to order certain parts we needed as the install progressed. Luckily I had packed about 10 days with of clothes....
So to sum this up.... Allison is sick with a fever and I'm sure she has something contagious....She has massive support from her family to bring her soups and Gatorade and other things. I have plenty of clothes and with me and can work remotely if clients need me. So this means i'm staying a few more days till I know her test results. That allows me this weekend to make sure everything is perfect and means I am not having to rush to finish the last cosmetic touches.
It hate she feels so bad and I'm not there for her. But we all know I am a big baby and catch anything that is contagious. So I would just be another statistic if so touched the door handle at the house... Once I find out if she has Covid or not I can make arrangements to either go home or to go to another friends house in town to stay...
OR I may just dump my clothes in Dave's washing machine so I have 10 more days and head to Deals Gap Monday and break this new rear end in! This is looking more like the plan because I don't want to get sick with whatever she has. Soon as I have more info on what she finds out I'll let y'all know...
Now here is where I got to yesterday...... I like putting the rotors on.... Setting the tow and camber... Bleeding the brakes.... Removing the parking brake cable.... Filling the differential......Trimming the back plastic to fit around the kit.... And lastly just going over all the bolts once to verify they are all tight.....
Here are a few pics with the axles and shocks bolted up. I still have the ends hub ends loose with the bolts just pushed in so we can set the tow and camber.....
This whole kit is absolutely beautiful in my opinion. I can't even begin to type up a description to truly do it justice..... I did have mixed feeling about converting my sling to a quad at first. But anyone that knows me and my slingshot knows I have done everything allowable on three tires... I have been over 150mph and I have modified every part on my slingshot (multiple times, lol). So I don't feel at all like I'm becoming a traitor to my 3 wheeled family.... It's just a way for me to stick the power to the ground and also smoke two tires instead of one when I want to.....
I'll post more pics and info later today...
Wishing your wife a speedy recovery, also praying for y'all. The build looks good, really the the yellow coil springs and calipers.

Well guess what....... She does not have covid.... I guess she has a bad case of the flu.
