:hello:I followed you over on Team Chevelle and I'll follow you here also :lol:
Awesome build! Hopefully some day I can do the same things to mine and maybe I could hit you up with making some parts for my 65':unibrow:
Can't wait to see more.

Thanks Marcus. I love the wheels too, couldn't be happier.

Good to see you over here too Todd.

Made some forward progress finally, chassis is going back together. Hope to have it buttoned up today then on to the body side that needs some attention.

Did you reinforcing the the panel where this mounts? I could imagine this eventually tearing the sheet metal. Im looking into doing something similar for a harness bar in mine.

Chris, I looked for a picture without the interior panel on but must not have taken one. Here is one that shows the 1/4" thick plate that has the tapped holes to mount the bar to. I drilled clearance holes in the sheetmetal for the bolts to pass thru the 1/4" plate for full thread engagement. It is perimeter welded to the inner structure. Where I positioned it, Is where multiple layers are welded together right inline where the door striker is. The bar is rock solid, didn't think it would be as rigid as it is myself.

The mounts I used are from B&B Classics
Hope that helps.

That'll work. Thanks for the description.

Are you using the ABC Performance mini tub kit? They advertise using 315 wide tires and I see your running a 295. What's the deal on that?
Thanks

Todd, here's the deal: The only part of the ABC kit are the tubs themselves. I notched the frame rails on my chassis before the frame kit was available. When I did mine I went 1.5" per side instead of the 2" that Tony's kit calls for. Therefore the difference 295 to 315. I'm pretty sure I could fit 305's as it is, but went with the tires (used) for now as I got a great deal on them.
So the inner wheel tubs actually are over the frame rails about 1/2". So if someday I ever to another chassis, I could go narrower on the rails and get to the 315.

Thanks for the explanation, now I get it. Your frame is still bad azz. I will probably be doing the ABC kit since I don't think I will be able to fund a Roadster Shop chassis:G-Dub:

Update: I know it didn't happen without pictures, but you'll have to trust me on this one: got the floor pan cleaned up and coated with some rust prep and rattle can low gloss black. Looks pretty good, but all but impossible to photograph when its 2-1/2' off the floor...I still can't feel my arms from that job Anyway, it's checked off the list

So, on to throwing it back together. Need one more quart of diff fluid then put the chassis back under the bod to get it back to a roller. Can't wait to push it outside so I can clean the shop!



Hopefully pics in a few days.

Awesome build.Will you be at Indy GG's.
