Okay, here's my findings:
Looks like it will work! Sure enough the coro drew from the detached side to allow the suspension to extend as far down as it can go. Everything looked really good. Well, by my standards, and limited experience.
I'm tempted to cut a hole out for the lower part of the strut. Good idea? No? It would make it not so low, but it would be exposed to the wind.
Look okay? Ideas? Suggestions?
I'm going to swing her around and work on the front, so added input can very well be implemented when I get back to work back here.
