Found it!

I want this

Well. Not the kid, and if I am being picky I would drop the headlights on the coupe about 4". But that dude is a BAMF. Look at that pristine wall!

This is awesome until you buy something new and have to rearrange everything.

WTF with the camber gain on the rear. That upper arm is so so short compared to the lower surely you'll get some weird ass camber gain. How the berk does that handle unless ACB was listening to his own comment that any suspension system will work if you don't let it.

In reply to JamesMcD:

Or you take one thing off and the peg board wire thingies fall out.

The ones with a screw to hold them in might be nice. I've no experience with them, though.

I have a combination of a tool wall and a chest. All the high usage tools are on the wall, the lower demand parts are in various chests.

Mines more portable than that, though. Sockets are on rails, color coded for metric/inch and the wrenches are in tool rolls (one metric, one inch) that are hung up. Makes them very easy to grab and toss in the toolbox for a track outing or simply because you're working on a car in the driveway. The rails and rolls also let you identify a glance what's present and what's missing.

You can see an older iteration of it in this pic.

Look at the angle of the axle. It's not a ride height. I imagine the top arm would level out with the body on there.

Yup. I prefer my method:

Level or not, it's still going to be short. Adrian's right. Wicked camber gain.

Although it looks like that's an aftermarket rear suspension. The Elan had a Chapman strut in the rear, surprise surprise.

Take that, and then add a quart can of soldering flux whose lid was lost during the Carter Administration... and slam the drawer on the whole sordid mess.
