Afternoon TPR

FWIW 
While I already purchased Johnny Woods modified A-Arms where I hope to get 5-7 degrees neg caster…..here is Larry’s mods where he got 4 to 4.5 neg caster.

I got 4 & 4.5 degrees of caster with the offset bushings and shaving the upper front ball joint.

PPC Front Upper Ball Joint Modified for + Caster

I think the Pantera may want up to 6-9 degrees of front caster.
Here are the A-Arm Sectioning and spacer photo’s I have you can work with.

Do you have ASA’s Address handy?

Regarding my Pantera underside downforce work, Here is an excerpt from
https://www.hagerty.com/media/motorsports/are-f1-and-nascar-manufacturing-drama/?utm_source=SFMC&utm_medium=email&utm_content=MED_UN_NA_EML_UN_SaturdayRoadTrip&hashed_email=fb1f43ec025e8215388f0ce0823a6e37e643701df67837453081ee2c33561ece
 
For the first time since the 1980s, when F1 cars resembled upside-down airplanes, ground effects are utilized in the aero regulations for the new car. Its floor has two large channels running front-to-back. Air travels under the vehicle and through the Venturi-shaped channels, which creates an area of low pressure and “sucks” the car to the track. Since the underside of the car provides much of the grip, the need for air on the wings to generate downforce is reduced.
