Nice work Matt!

:thumbsup:

Thanks Greg! You have to worry about the people you call friends that don't push your buttons. :lol:

Speaking of when you said taking things apart was easy compared to putting them together and making them look nice and work. Well, I didn't fully weld a couple pieces on because I figured I would be taking it all off later for paint and I wanted to make sure it all fit before I made it really difficult to take off, so I only tac welded the bottom of the two crush tube sleeves that the big 8-3/4" coilover mount bracket bolt goes into. (there are four smaller bolts that also secure the coilover mount) When I was just buttoning up the front end and putting the bolt, the I could feel that it wasn't threading in normally. My first thought, "F--- me, I screwed it up. I knew that was going to happen." Then I realized that mounting bracket was wobbling as the bolt went in. Yes, the huge 7/16 x 8-3/4 grade 8 bolt was bent, actually both were. It's funny, I was just so relieved I didn't screw things up.

I drove the car it was a blast. However a once in a lifetime vehicle was offered to me and I think I am going to try to figure out a way to buy it.

I also found the perfect bolt on for Marty in case he was having any reservations about pulling the trigger on a '13 Boss 302.

Inquiring minds want to know, what is cooler than a Boss 302? It must be something from Chevy, or European, but not BMW (you don't seem like an asshat). :lol:

Kind of back on topic, I started mocking up the rear suspension. Crappy cell phone pictures to follow on Monday.

Hand Built frame - Dart Small Block - AWD and more metal work them you can imagine.

Kenny told me not to tell my wife and just buy it. I told him to sell the Cuda so were trying.

Cyclone with a V-8? Hardly seems worth throwing the cuda much less the Boss 302 out for. :unibrow:
