Hey Scott,
Last Monday we worked on it a little bit, got the upper 3rd link bracket welded on and the lca mounts tacked on the new housing, got it under the car.

I am going to fab up a new pan hard bracket for the rear end today, but my Dad is sick so will see if he is up for welding it together tomorrow. I finally got my front wheels back from Forgeline Thursday, they now have the Bad Penny backspacing, so yesterday I got the tires mounted on them.

Nice find on the Javelin, are you going to do a trans-am build like the Sunoco Camaro? You can use many of my ideas as you want, thats no problem right there, lol :cheers:

You got good timing with that Javelin, because a member just pm'd me for your contact info, asking about a subframe for his 74 javelin, you now have the perfect car for R&D.

Thanks,
Jon

That's great news, my Humpster plans are delayed 'cuz I bought my road-race gremlin (no, I'm not kidding:P ), so It's cool to see another Javelin build on the horizon.

Here is a picture of my family haulin' Rambler, a bit of a different direction than your build, no silly jungle jim tubes running all over the place in the car. Just a quick reminder of what they look like with wheels under 'em:lol:

Lol, thanks Mike. I can't believe that the car has been down for a year and a half. Your car is looking great, have you decided what you are going to do on your front spoiler? The more I look at that hood the more I like it, I might have to ditch the fiberglass amx hood and pick up a hood like yours. How does your hood fit the car? Hows the gaps?

My goal is to have the car on the ground in 2 months, hopefully less. I have to finish the panhard bar, weld in the roll bar and the front engine bay braces, then make some ride sticks to hold up the car. I think that is reasonable, Since I am only able to work on it a day or two on the weekends. Unless I get crazy and put a full cage in it, but I can't let myself do that, lol.


Here is a bad picture of the front wheel, it is a 17x9.5" with 7.4" bs I will have to use a small spacer to widen the track with and to clear the calipers. The tires are 274/40r17 Toyo R888's
