Yeah I know what you mean. Since I just got the wheels I'm going to put the rear back in with the rotors and see if it goes on ok. I have 2.25" from ride hieght till I hit the stop.

The stops are a good idea but I might make the droop stop a bolt in deal.

I don't know. It's hard to get anything done when you get up at 9am

clill 07-30-2011 07:00 PM

I have gotten bored with Pleasanton and don't go very often but I would go to see that car up close.:hail:

waynieZ 07-30-2011 07:45 PM

Amazing work!

DETON8R 07-30-2011 09:24 PM

Wow, those look so incredible!!
 
Boy, those custom spring hangars are a work of art. I dropped the rear in my 69 to get the g-link ready for install and I just acid dipped and stripped my hangars to get rid of the surface rust, then primed and pained the stock units. They look good, but noting like those custom units you built. Your work would make the machinists I work with jealous. They are the Pirate 4x4 types, and they build crawlers, so the stuff they build is all heavy duty, nothing as beautiful as that.

PLEASE tell us if you plan to go to Pleasanton in August or November. I really would like to take Jr to see the craftsmanship.

OVRKILL 07-30-2011 09:30 PM

Holy fabrication Batman! Wow....dude, your skillz are crazy deep. Cant wait to see this finished!

elitecustombody 07-30-2011 09:38 PM

Love it:thumbsup: You must have a lot of time on your hands,just wondering if you have full time job and still have time to do all this crazy stuff?:cheers:

No regular 9am to 5pm job (if that's true) is the key to your perfection :hail:

coolwelder62 07-31-2011 06:58 AM

Jason if you don't slow down,Rodger Lee will be stopping by everymorning and picking you up.Then You will end up having a 6:00am to 6:00pm job everyday.:lol: Awesome work Bud.:thumbsup:

z4me69 07-31-2011 08:24 AM

Man you never should have posted any of this. you should have just waited until you finished it . then take it to Detroit auto show and put everyone's jaw on the floor for the riddler

GrabberGT 07-31-2011 08:58 AM

Holy Shmoly! Those look like they were CNC'd billet not fab'd from sheet metal. Amazing how precise and clean it is.

Scott, that would be one hell of a commute. Car is about finished with fab maybe I'll take the motorhome down south, sweep Rodgers floors and watch how it's really done.

War 07-31-2011 09:50 AM

Thanks everyone. No it's far from a riddler car or even a show car. Way to many talented shops out there for that stuff. This is just a driver I'm building and having fun with it. No schedule, deadline,or stress. I can change what ever or make whatever I want. My labor is free to me. I'm looking forward to the next step getting the car painted, put it together, fixing crap that doesnt work, and driving it.

Been thinking of building a Jeep next. Now that would put the wife over the edge.:rofl:

ironworks 07-31-2011 12:57 PM

I think the aspect of this build that is so cool is the fact you have someone with the ability and the drive to tackle aspects like this. Most guys keeping those spring pockets in their camaro would never invest the time it takes to build those. I bet Jason has 10 -20 hours in just the one side he has done. In the real world that is $750-$1500 per spring pocket. Thats some coin. And unless a guy truely understands the effort it takes to build these kinds of details it is rarely happen in this industry. Very rarely does someone have the spare time or the funds to truely see something like this come together. I have had one customer in ten years that enjoys these details and understands and pays the money to see these kind of details. I joked with Jason yesterday about what will come of these parts more then just a powder coated jack point on the car. And he just laugh because he did these details because he can and enjoys the build probably more then the end result.

Jason if you don't send the car to paint soon. You will wind up changing things you already built and were at one time happy with.

Jason I'll be waiting for that paint order:D Hell I'll come down and shoot that bad boy for you.....

garickman 07-31-2011 07:53 PM

Hey Jason, what do you finish your metal with to get that clean uniformed look with no sanding marks? Do you go to a finer sandpaper or some type of scotch-brite?

cencalc6 07-31-2011 08:02 PM

Excellent Fab Work :thumbsup:

He sits in front of the TV watching soap operas and sanding parts...:lol:

DFRESH 07-31-2011 10:08 PM

I see you are using a lot of the Ironworks "Fabrication" spray again. This must be the new improved version of the spray as no one would be crazy enough (not even a former Hot Dog on a Stick mall employee) to make their own spring mounts. Can't wait to see what you do with the windshield wipers.

Over Achiever.

DFRESHJEALOUS.

Very well said Rodger. This happens way too often. I am sure you get it as much as me and the next guy. Potential customers say "I like that and want it just like that". Then you explain what was done, how long it took and how much it will cost and they say "for that?". :willy:

I think its great that Jason has the ability to do it himself in his garage while his wallet stays on the nightstand. :thumbsup:
Awesome build.... it just keeps getting better !

Serpa69 08-01-2011 07:54 AM

You should have seen the models he build as a kid:lol:

Steve,

You nailed that one on the head. When the finished product looks simple and clean.... That means it was the hardest to pull off. I like to call it "Simple Difficult"
