I will use dse leafs that came in my minitub kit. I will use the quadralink sway bar and I will fab custom mounts to bolt it on the diff. Im not sure that it will help on handling but I prefer to remove it than install it when the floor will be painted

Not a big step but its better than nothing.
The hooker t56 hump is a really nice piece, I love the oem look

I don't think you'll be able to use half height subframe bushings with that tunnel piece. I tried using it on my car which has half height subframe bushings. It wouldn't fit my already modified tunnel which I kind of expected. However, I ended up cutting way further forward towards the firewall to get the floor to clear the transmission in the end. Had Holley's piece fit my floor, I would have had to modify it further. It's a good looking piece for sure.

streetbird 06-07-2020 07:14 PM

I have regular solid bushing. I see some guys running it without problems with hooker crossmember and mounts

linenoise 06-08-2020 10:12 AM

I used that same trans tunnel metal part. Full bushings and no issues. its close on front part of tunnel you do not cut. do not think half heights would clear like said previously.
clean job on that btw. getting it to fit flush and all is a little work.
What are you going to use as top plate?

streetbird 06-08-2020 05:22 PM

I will use a billet boot ring directly on the tunnel with a sheet of 18ga to fill the hole. All bolted with rivnuts to keep access to the top of the transmission. I will do that in a week or two

The work that you've already done to the car is impeccable. I look forward to seeing more of this one for sure!

Jimbo1367 07-01-2020 12:41 PM

If this question was asked and answered all ready, I appoligis in advance. What brand and model is the rotisory? How has it worked for you? Any gripes about it or changes you wish it jad?

thanks,
Jim

Jimbo1367 07-01-2020 01:05 PM

Great work. I always check this thread first when I visit LATG.

IS that some sort of truck bed lining spray on the undercarriage? The DP90 you mentioned earlier. I wish you were my neighbor. LOL. Having your build next door would light a fire under my ass to start back up on mine.

thanks,
Jim

thanks for the good comments guys. It keep me motivated.

I'm now prepare the subframe for the new suspension.
I got one bolt hole messed by the previous owner so I repair it and I got to drill a arms bolt holes to 9/16. Sleep a night on it and I decided to make a custom drill bit.

more to come soon

Dse lower control arms need 9/16 bolt.
Instruction tell to use a unibit but I wasnt able to drill the hole on the rear mount.
I use a 9/16 drill bit. Shank side was 1/2. I welded it on a 1/2 rod and it worked real good.

streetbird 11-05-2020 11:41 AM

I just started to fit the front end but all panel was off.
1'' gap on the nose in the beginning but it turned ok.
Still some work to do on the fenders.

So close to look like a car for the first time
