I found took the 3d file of the win stands and modified it. Shrunk it down about 18 mm, and printed new stands with some carbon fiber reinforced filament. Much better

. After the acquisition of my Formula in 2013, my '84 was "retired" and has been sitting under a tarp in my backyard for a dozen years. I wanted to drive it to my new place 50 miles east of here, and I was a little concerned with what I might need to do to make the car roadworthy again.
I borrowed the battery and a set of tires/wheels from my Formula, and with just the replacement of one sticking front brake caliper, I was able to make the trip with no issues whatsoever. Not only that, but I had forgotten how great the tweaked suspension feels on my '84. Even the lil' duke (with a 5-spd) felt good. Damn, I was impressed!

It’s starting to look like a car again. Carpet in. Seat in. Engine put together - still needs tuning. Way too much fuel. Timing needs dialed in. I’m still learning how to use the Aces software.
Once the interior is zipped up I’ll install some glass.
Today I was tired of the stick holding the trunk 🤨 !! Problem solved .on my 84 .
Who's still selling these ? At some point while mine was off the road, the torsion spring broke, so I need to go to the 2-strut setup. I've got 1 gas strut on there already that I got from Rodney way back, but it doesn't look like he's still restocking those.
