Thought I'd post this here in case there are some racers like myself who are looking to build tubular control arms, using US/domestic parts to retrofit, and I was unable to find this info elsewhere.

I am ready to put my Z back on the road and would like to race it.The type of racing I want do is where you race thru cones set in big parking lots or small venues.If anybody is familiar with this and know where to do it in middle Georgia I would be real interested.A buddy of mine did it for years and loved it.I went to a few races with him in Jacksonville Fla and loved it.
