Awesome car. Glad you are back on it again.:thumbsup:

You have to get the groceries at least once, just to say you did. :lol:
I should have afew more updates over the next couple weeks. parts are on the way. :)

Good deal. Keep us posted.
Nice to see some updates on this bad boy.:thumbsup:

I have been working on little tidbits, putting things on the front suspension together and taking them apart. Had a few brackets added and fitted these up today.
After several attempts at trying to fit stock car style spring cups with spc lower control arms and my shocks, it didn't seem to work to well. The shocks would hit the cups, the spring would rub against the side of the frame because it sat on the cup and the cup adjusting nut sat loose.
I had the cup thread cut off and relocated a half inch over to clear the shock and center it in the pocket better.

Then my neighbour Stu (best neighbour in the world ;) ) made me these spring cup adjusting nuts to make a better fit and a way to adjust them easily without removing all the suspension. A little heavier then stock, but in this case I think they are worth the extra ounces.
This is the old and new side by side.

Then inside the spring pocket.

And then with the spring in place.

Oh yeah. Thanks Stu!! :morepower

I also had some brackets welded in to hold the sway bar in place, a 'u' chanel for future use, and a cap added to the front of the crossmember where I had to chop it off to clear the new center link.

So tomorrow I paint these parts and start the finished assembly instead of fitting and tearing apart again. Crossing my fingers. :lol:

This is just too crazy man! I love it. :thumbsup:

Looks like you have a PS box there...where and what set-up were you going to use for the pump?

Thanks,
Dave

Very nice. She's moving right along.
Keep us posted.:thumbsup:

I have a Lee box, but the older style bigger one because they could do more with the valving for my application. I got it through Mark Savitske and it uses the type 2 pump that was put on a little steering dyno to get the feel that I want. It also has a slower ratio for the high speed stuff so my twitching won't put me in the weeds.
