Scott,I was noticing your shocks. If there's any way you could lean them out further at the bottom,they'd be more effective in certain areas. I've nearly got my 14r all planned out and my shocks will be mounted dang near right next to the knuckles.

I'm just waiting on funds to start gathering parts.

Well i guess ill update things a little. I took the 14er to the utrcrc state champs last weekend, everybody liked it, the body was a big hit. It needs work in the crawling performance dept though. Ive already removed the tubing from the shocks and relocated the lower end of the shocks to eliminate the angle they were at. The tires did well, theyre totally different than the moab/masher hybrids i run on my 2.2 rig. You really need to bump things and carry momentum. They seem to like to be spun faster on sandstone. Ill have to get a set of 4:1s soon for it, the wheelspeed is about perfect right now but i need to take some of the strain off the trans and drive lines. Frankyrizzo has pics of it on the rocks, im trying to get him to email them to me...

Not a Caddy fan really, but the second to last picture looks pretty good.
