Jeff-
I agree. This is a very cool build and I like the details and Home built aspect of it. I love threads like Greg’s Mustang but that kind of project is $$$$, this is a cool down to earth build that is more relateable. Especially being built in a garage.

Oh damn!!! I had no idea any of you guys were even paying any attention to this thread. I was not seeing much chatter so I thought it was just me writing to myself =)

Thanks for the encouragement and keeping me motivated!!!!

I dig it so much that I don't even care that the pictures are so huge I have to scroll back and forth to view them.
Thanks man, Appreciate you chiming in and saying something. You going to be at SEMA this year?

I never knew the pics were too big. they look totally normal on my screen on my computer and my phone.

Thank you, I have never really been into cars that are "easy" to build. I like boxy and being a little different. Glad to hear you are picking up a few things here and there, I do a lot of that also.

I read your whole truck build and loved it, this is intriguing to me as well. You can only get into so many Camaro builds. And I am a Chevy guy myself.
Thanks Marcellus, Appreciate the feedback and Ill keep them coming. The truck build was super fun, gotta keep learning though right??

Anyone can build the mundane but the stuff you rarely see is where I get excited.
We have very similar tastes, I like the less common cars. It was between this and a Maverick and it was all about what I could find for reasonable money. Thanks for the props.

I love the over the top builds as well and those are what keep me going and trying to do better, I appreciate them but its out of my wheelhouse.

This old girl is all garage built.

Hope to have some parts today, didnt even touch it last night

Happy Friday!!

Just finished my plans for the SEMA trip yesterday in fact, so yeah I'll be there. We'll see you at the Lat-G party for sure?

Maybe it's just my Chrome browser but yeah huge scroll bar for me left and right for most of your pics... Not sure why... Still worth looking at though!!

I used 2- 12" long pieces of 3" C channel and 2 large metal clamps and a quick clamp to hold it together while I got the screw clamps on. It worked good. Clamped this way and tacked, then removed, rotated 90 degrees, re clamped and tacked again.



Once tacked together, I put everything back together to make sure I was able to get the C clips back in and the brakes on, with the shafts.





Sean, kudo's to you for doing all this work on your own & fabbing things along the way!
I've got a rearend that going to get cut for big Ford bearing ends and a Trutrac. The shop utilizes this product to make sure all is aligned.

Anyway, keep up your good work, look forward to the updates.

Thanks man, that setup is pretty nice, a little too much for the maybe a couple times in my life I will narrow an axle.

Appreciate the props.

This project is turning out to be bigger than anticipated. Got shocks and tabs on Friday and got to work for a little bit.

I ended up not using any of the tabs as the shock really needed to be king of low to get some reasonable travel out of them.

I am running a ride tech adjustable coilover. These are very high quality shocks and are 100% tunable. Guys like Ron Sutton can valve them however you want them to be and I want to be able to fine tune them in the future.

its a 4.1" Travel shock, ride height is set at 4.5" from rocker to ground on a 25" tall tire. I am 2.25" of uptravel at that level.



I ordered up a bad ass mosier diff cover, unfortunately it does not clear anything so looks like Ill need to just run the stamped steel diff cover, it has like .25" clearance at the tightest spot.

So built all of my brackets, got everything tacked in, pulled the entire assembly back out, and got to welding. I added gussets to the back and bottom of the shock and lower link tabs to be 100% sure that dont have any flex, pretty sure they are not going anywhere. Also this tied in the two sided of where I shortened the rear axle.







I got the stock wheel studs pressed out and the new ARP long studs pressed in, cleaned up the faces and slid them in temporarily. I am waiting for brakes to show up should be here this week. I have the new flex lines from the car to the axle made already.

Kind of running out of steam at this point :oops: Now I gotta start on the rear wheelwells to get some real tires in there, its going to be a fair bit of work.

So, I'm not sure what is different but the first picture in this post is huge and the rest are prefect in size... Is it just me?

I can't wait to see this hanging under the car...looks like a great way to make something work where it probably shouldn't have...

Paint it or blow apart and powdercoat?

If "running out of steam" for you is building a new rear suspension, I don't know what to call my complete lack of interest in replacing the timing cover on my stupid car (which seems necessary to fire it up, given apparently incompatible cam sensor distance).

To reply to a previous response, come on down if you get the chance. I've got a 12-mile test track (curvy river road) that runs right past my yard--you just have to dodge a lot of spandex on certain days . . .

Thanks for the clarity the Holley hydramaxipad thing. I may look into that the next time my fuel pump situation becomes problematic.

Oh, and to be the jerk here (kind of my job), you are going to want some vertical adjustment in that Panhard, if you haven't already planned that in.

Careful Rustio, I’m pretty sure Sean has the required spandex...nobody wants to see that.😐

And as far as being a jerk, I mentioned the same thing about vertical adjustment with the horizontal locator. Let’s see if two jackasses can make him rework a finished part.
