the fabrication looks plain awesome, and the car will be fantastic... but i can however see somthing that troubles me.. and that is the tube that holds the front shock mount, i assume it will also be th emount for the front UCA, it looks long twisty and unsupported, it will take alot of changing loads and needs to be stiffened up considerably (i know that it is propably in the works but you asked fi we could see anything fishy)

other than that i hate you, and i want your car! :thumbsup:

The spaces inbetween the DOM will be supported with mild steel inserts along with our tying the front end with the custom radiator support that we will be building for the car. Rht now the emphasis is to finish the rear end and cage and, when we are ready with the UCA's we will start building the front support but thanks for the input!:thumbsup:

I need to say at least one more time that the ideas that you are all seeing is not just my vision but a collaborative effort with the shop and in particular, Rodger Lee, the owner of Ironworks. He has been the driving force in making my dreams a reality! Thanks Rodger!(I owe you and the boys a steak dinner BTW!)

No Worries my Friend! It's hard to express what you mean in just words(Thus the smilies!) sometimes! A lot of guys on these boards take things the wrong way or assume the worst but I always give everyone the benefit of the doubt that they are trying to be nice or sarcastic which is fine! I always like a good post! Thanks again for checking out the build and I'm glad you like where the car is going!

I would assume that you have a Chevy II with a 454?:thumbsup:
