Rather than slotting the track bar holes as I initially planned my dad had a better idea to mill offset holes. Here's a pic of the mock up.

Here's the drain plug. I ground and welded a thick washer offset from the bottom to hopefully save the bolt head from hitting something. After it was welded up we drilled the final hole size and tapped the hole for a drain bolt.

It's hard to believe the cars been sitting like this for 3 months. I just recently found time to work on it again.

No new pics so far this week. Just figuring out how I want to run the brake lines and what fittings I need. Also trimming up and boxing in the rear crossmember to be ready for final weld up of the track bar mount.

Thanks man. I lost momentum for a while but I'm back in it. Family comes first so I had to take a short break. I need to check out what you guys have been up to.

For the life of me I can't remember. I'll have to check. Thanks for the compliments!

Hi Dale. Thanks for the compliment! I haven't been on here for a while. I need to see what you've been up to as well.

Unfortunately, nothing for me. I was out of the country for the past 5 weeks and just got back. This is my first weekend back and I'm not sure that I'll get a chance to be in the garage or not.

My dad finished up the subframe connector ties. They're ready to be welded to the connectors. He made them out of 3/16 and drilled and tapped 2 fine thread 3/8x3/4 bolts on each side. He drilled the tie and subframe together so the holes are exact.

A few brake line clips and removal of the old ford clip and the rear end will be ready for primer.

It used to be called dark speed silver. I hear there's another name for it now.
Sorry it took so long. I ended up having to get ahold of Will. I couldn't remember.
