LOL! Had I not done Ron's... I would probably be right there with you bro. But with some planing it can be done and come out great. Its not just a straight cut. With the bolt hole where its located and to retain strength in that area I made multiple cuts after removing the bulk of the arm. I wanted to blend the 2 angles together and make them look like they were made that way. The most recent pics of the spindles Ron posted show that pretty well.

I would be happy to help if you buy a set. If you want them to look like these.... send them to me and I will do them for you:thumbsup:

Thanks bro! They look gorgeous. I cannot even tell where you cut them, because you blended them so good. I may have to take you up on that offer. Can you pm me your cell?

Thanks for the compliments! It has been a lot of fun doing the suspension/fab work on Ron's car! I will PM you my cell right now.

Time for an update...
 

I’ve been off the radar for a while for a number of reasons, work, family, blah blah blah, but also because I just got back from a killer road trip. I flew to Indy for final assy on the car after paint and a day at Columbus GGuys. Day one (last Friday) in the shop was a killer. 14 hours of hot, humid assemble/polish (or vice versa), adjust, readjust, repeat. I freakin’ loved every minute of it. Saturday was a three hour drive up to Columbus and 7 hours hoofing around. I’ve been to Del Mar many times which is almost sensory overload and Columbus was beyond that. Cars, parts, displays everywhere! Walk past one venue area, turn the corner and there’s more to see. The Top 5 plus the Goosby Mustang were all just sick. Someone had said they’re all winners and I agree. Anyway, got to see all the vendors and bought a couple of goodies (Tremec would NOT let me talk them out of their T56 Maggie cut away display; something about it costing too much :lol: ), saw some great runs, rekindled old friendships and made new ones. That Mike Maier is a great guy and his car is bad a** as always, but his new motors is waaaaay over the top! He has set the AutoX bar for sure. Saturday night in Columbus is a cruising heaven. Early Sunday morning was back to Indy, power on finishing the car which took all day. At dusk, just as we we’re finishing snapping some pics Roger’s rig pulls into the shop so we load the car and all the parts up for the return trip home.

There’s a bunch more, but I think you guys get the idea…

I cannot thank Travis Engle and Specialty Paint Applications owner Steel Orton enough. These guys humped and pumped through the last 15 months and the car came out great. Steel is a true car guy and real craftsman. My car was not a Roadster Shop build, but Steel went way beyond what I contracted and paid for but stayed true to the vision and ensured I was satisfied. Travis was there every minute helping w final assembly and made sure to tell me when I was doing it wrong :lol:. (J/K of course!) These two are/will be friends for life and I know we’ll share many more adventures. I also want to give props to Roger for the help in making sure the car gets home safely. The driver called me while I was in the air yesterday and told me he is on schedule and the car is fine. Customer service at its finest!

Holy s#*¡ Ron!!!! Now that is a thing of beauty!

Cudos to Travis & Steel for doing such a killer job!

Now get that motor in and ruin some tires!!!:D

Well....let's see them then. No seriously Ron, she's a thing of beauty. I know you are glad to have her home. That color pops in the sunlight.

Love the three butts..... priceless!


Great looking car Ron!

Im glad your home safe Ron! Thanks again for the props :D I had a blast hangin with you the past few days! Your a true friend. Thanks for the opportunity to show case my talents on your car. The build was the best one so far for me.... until I get my 70 camaro done...:thumbsup: Im really excited for you and I know the coming weeks will be thrashing on your part to finish her up. The road trip to Columbus Good Guys was over the top! :goodguys:

Thanks for the props Eric..:)

I cant agree more.... get that motor in Ron!! LOL..

Ron the car looks gorgeous. They did an awesome job on it. :thumbsup:

LOL!!! Greg... one of those butts is mine, but what gives me the biggest grin about that pic is the butt on the far left! Thats my 3 Y.O. son Levi who I spoke of earlier in a previous post. This kid is going to be the biggest gear head ever! He is on my coat tail everywhere I go and will crawl up under a car with me no matter what ground surface there is or how dirty it is! Im not even joking at all. Maybe Ron will post another pic he has of Levi helping me take pics of the under carriage of the car...:thumbsup:
