We ended up taking off the rear section making a make shift jig and tacking everything together so we could really get to it all .It really is better than I thought we would end up with I'm very proud of all involved with this build of what it is as of today.But once you get involved and are looking at all the lines there is still so much more that could be done but this is good enough for myself and the owner.I really was tempted to keep pounding away and polish the body but this isn't a round cobra and its way way harder and costly to do because everything is so sharp
So heres the back fenders ill reveal it with. http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/p...r%20002_fb.jpg http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/p...r%20003_fb.jpg http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/p...r%20007_fb.jpg http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/p...r%20008_fb.jpg http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/p...r%20011_fb.jpg http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/p...r%20013_fb.jpg |
I can't remember or not, but did you say you guys are revealing this at SEMA in bare metal?
|
It looks like it came that way,nice work.

Nelson, keep the pics comings as we enjoy the fab work (as much) as the finish product. Unfortunately we don't get to see the fab work on some of the other great builds. I know it takes time to post them up, so we really appreciate you taking the time to do it! :thumbsup:

Awesome work guys!
Love the relocation of the gas cap. |
nice work, seemless.
|
awesome skills you have guys... :wow:
Metal work is simply amazing Thanks to share all the process ! :king: |
Tom, its going to be a shame to see all that body work get covered by paint, it would look killer if you metal finished the entire body, painted some stripes on it and then covered it in a flat clear.

Heres a few more of the rear suspension for the weekend,Excuse the nasty hardware and spacers in some of the photos haha.Basically whats neat to point out is the threaded block that we welded in the chassis to adjust instant center on the rear suspension we mapped out all five points and added that which will help us tune the suspension a bit even though its a triangulated four link.We also water jet all the suspension components from scratch . Please excuse my grammar it sucks.

That's how we did it back in the day sometimes with string and tape. Before all these new fangeled computer programs. Looking good.

Looks nice Tom, question how come you did just build a complete chassis? With all the power this one will have seems like an easy call, just wondering?

Centering drive train
One thing i wanted to show you guys is there have been many builds I've done in the past that the drivetrain that are not centered and when you look at the engine bay head on you can see the engine is not in there center which bugged me .The Chrysler was pretty bad and trying to keep the Symmetrical theme I decided we needed to center the entire drivetrain on this build here are some pics of us cutting up the rear end and weld up in our Mark Williams fixture.

Trick threw the frame sway bar
Since the tires are so wide I wanted to maximize the sway bar length so I decided run the sway bar threw the frame and make the sway bar run on roller bearings.

Slick sway bar mount, did you get a new fab guy?
Actually Chryslers had the stupid offset to clear the power steering box. Lazy bums. LOL |

Actually, they have a bunch of fab guys at the shop. I saw this car in person and the workmanship is amazing! It saw good you almost don't notice it. They also have a bunch of other cool projects in the works but they are holding out on you guys. I guess this one is more pro-touring appropriate though. Even seeing this car in person, I didn't realized and appreciated all the works thats gone into it until this thread. That's why we loves the pics. Keep them coming and thanks again for posting. :thumbsup: |

The car is turning out great Tom! Larry showed us this, and all the other projects last year when we came in to order our SBC 427 Hot Rod Series engine from you. You actually just talked to my Dad earlier this month and said our engine should be done somewhere around the end of next month. Look forward to seeing this car in person again after all this work, and even more so to pick up the engine from you!

Some neat washers we made to bolt up the subframe we also welded in solid threaded insert in the frame so you would not see the thru bolt from the top side of the frame.
