<VV> make a LM mobil without a power pack?

[Frank DuVal]

Hey, it's one in the morning here. I might have missed that small detail 
in description.

Yes, solidly bolting from one axle hub to the other should keep the 
wheels standing parallel to each other. Trying to bolt the strut arms 
together doesn't work, too many hinge points.

If I had time I might try this on the 67 4 dr w/o drivetrain in the 
yard.... Anybody got a round tuit?
