“That tends to cause a car to hook well in the first 20 to 30 feet of the racetrack, but once the power begins to come in, it’ll unload the chassis due to the both the short instant center and the high anti-squat value.” “On many aftermarket 9-inch housings, as you begin to lower the car and the upper control arms are in the location that they end up on a 9″, what most often becomes the case is a very short instant center in the car,” explained Zimmerman. And the same goes for the lower control arms as well – we have four pickup points on the lowers for adjustability.” With the multiple pickup point options, you can raise or lower the car, and while no one would ever raise it, if you lower the car, you have the ability to adjust the upper control arms. “The geometry on the upper control arms in our new housing is ideal,” explained Zimmerman.”We have multiple pickup points on the top, and most 9-inch housings out there don’t have the correct pickup points. Might not sound like much now, but this was a big deal back then, because of the car being completely stock! He just wants to go faster now.Zimmerman's 9-inch creation sports multiple pickup points top and bottom for making ample adjustments to your vehicles instant center. "owner" got some magazine ink with this car as it was one of the first Mustangs to run low.12s back in the 80s. Note: For you guys that may have been with the Mustang craze for the last 15 years or so, might recognize this car. Tires nicely tucked under.Looks great! Best of all it is going to work!!ĭone! At least for us. You can see the fuel cell cap under the opening. A dragster style fuel access was installed. Fuel cell is isolated from passenger area. Racing sanctions require you to have protection against fire in case of a crash. If TIG welding make it nice! Watch the heat!!

Unless you like crawling over the side bars a hundred times, install last. Side bars are added at this point on a job like this. By the picture you can see that our rears are built super strong. They will of course be changed for a set of our coilovers. Shown are the shock struts that are just for setup puposes. This a good shot of the bottom of the "SS9". there are no fuel cells out there that will give you 20 gallons with 16" between the frame rails. "TIP" Don't expect a fuel cell bought over the counter to fit your project without modifications, especially if it is a Pro-Street.er. At AUTO WELD we make custom fuel tanks for this reason. So our new trunk panel had to be higher than the factory floor.
Because the fuel cell is so deep, it actually is taller than the floor surface of the trunk. Then, since the cell is so deep, you must remove the factory trunk floor as we did. Don't think you can put one of these cells in your car without a lot of modifications! First of all you must remove the tabs that are welded on the bottom of the cell. We have had a lot of magazine coverage with this rear suspension, because it "WORKS"! Also shown is how we mount one of the aluminum fuel cells sold at some of the mailorder ware- houses. Championships have been won with this setup. Shown here is an ideal shot of what our famous "SS9" rear suspension looks like in the car. Another view with plastic panel in place.
