Looks great Phillip :cheers:

Not knowing what it looked like "the first time" --- I'll just take a guess that you weren't happy with it. Good for you! It takes a lot of stones to be able to stand back after putting a lot of work into something and say ----- shizel..... I can do that better. I applaud you for that!

:cheers: :thumbsup:

Don't feel bad we did 3 or 4 on the truck.

As for your firewall I think this is one of the nicest I've seen

scrolled back to see what you did before vs now --- Yeah buddy! Looks good!

100% correct. Takes stones and a full wallet. :woot:

lol! :D Don't know if my wife will agree, but that's a chance I'll take :unibrow:

Thanks, Ron :thumbsup:

Your 100% correct! after looking at a few builds it really gave me the encourage to redo it...Thanks Greg for the kind words :thumbsup:

Thank you Marty for the great Comment! :cheers:

:thumbsup:

Looks good. Makes me want to do mine over:D

Looking Killer Phillip! Great Job!!

much better but I would have continued the gutter body line all the way to the drivers side. Nice work. :thumbsup:

UPDATE 12-07-12: It's a late update, After I sold my 1st subframe I was conteplating what other Frame I wanted to go with...I was really considering a DSE unit but my budget at the time was not allowing me....I then asked a Vendor here about his new frame and that I was very interested. We both agree on price and the time of build....Basically that was a total waste of my time and it held back my progress :willy: :mad: After that mess I called up Scott Mock that I was really interested in his new design frame and that I wanted it asap....Well It was NO surprise to me how well Scott Mock takes care of his customers...After Payment was sent, I had my New Frame at my Door in 3 weeks :thumbsup: :cheers: All I can say is that This New Frame is piece art...Excellent quality work by Scott.

Here's a few pics with engine in place,I will also add that my Kooks 1-7/8 headers fit perfectly with excellent ground clearance....They are actually even with the frame rails :hail: :cheers:

Outstanding job

Thanks Frank,I'm very glad to have the new frame in place....Now I can finish up welding up the Sub-frame connectors,trans member,raise the trans tunnel, the list goes on....lol! man that firewall took me a long time make, I don't know if I can do that again :willy: but at the end I look back and I'm very pleased how it turned out. :cheers:

Looking real good Phil! :thumbsup:

Very Nice!

Very Nice Build Phil, First Off, I always perk up when I see Fresno anywhere, as I was born and raised in the NO or Fresburg what ever they are calling it these days. I left in 92 for service, college, and now reside north of seattle, but always try to go back once a year to soak up some central valley sunshine, a trip to pine flat or Kings River for a V drive boat ride.

A matter of fact my 69 camaro was earned by working after scool and weekends for at my grandfathers carlot back in the day on old hwy 41 near caruthers. Old Airplane on top of small gas station.

Didnt mean to thread jack. But Nice Progress on the build.

I recently made a transaction with Scott to secure one of his subframes. And have been pondering which way to go for the rear suspension. I will be watching closely on your exhaust set up, as that was my concern with exhaust.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks Wayne!

Born in Los Angeles but raised in Fresno.....What I like about this town is that im only 2hrs away from a Beach and 1hr away from the beautiful view of yosemite......Other than the Bad Summer heat and cold winters, Its a Nice place live......You wont be dissapointed with Scott's frame.I'm using DSE's quadralink with a little tweaking to get my proper ride height....I'm also in the middle of gathering all my 3" exhaust parts for test fitting.

Thanks for the comments :thumbsup:

Nice work!!! Any updates?

On the first frame you had what rack did you use? is it powdercoated?:thankyou:

Phillip :thankyou: for the kind word's.Hope everything keeps working great for you.

I Should have a few pics by next week....The rack.on the last frame was AGR unit,The Frame still needs a few things to be welded on before its get powder coated....Thanks for comments.


Thanks, Scott

Any updates?

Thanks

Phillip, this is quite a build! Nice work! Your other projects are very nice too. I especially like the look of the vette.

Thanks everybody for the compliments, I have lacked in giving up some updates on my build...My computer crashed and I have not replaced it :underchair: Since the last update I have finished the sub frame connectors,im 90% done with transmission tunnel and im currently working on the transmission crossmember....I promise to have some pic's up shortly

UPDATE! Guys I'm giving up on this project...Too many things going on and I just don't have the time to work on it....It was a fun and learning experience.

As of right now I'm parting out the car, so look out for the classifieds for smoking deals.

Bummer dude. :(

x2! I hope all is well with you Phillip :cheers:

Thanks Guys! everything is great, just I need a little extra cash to open up a small mechanic shop....I'm constantly working on other cars and never have time to work on mine.

WOW!! So sorry to hear this -- but I'm happy that you're going to start your own business! Good for you! Make it grow and then have someone else build you a car because you're too busy making so much money you don't have the time!



EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAA

What a bummer Philip. Really like your work. hope all is good. I been at the threshold of making that same move. Good luck :thumbsup:

Sorry to see this but its for a great reason. I hope it all works out well for you.

It was a tough choice but I think it's the best thing to do right now, your right Greg hopefully I make it well and hopefully I can buy somebody's finished project.

Thanks again guys :thumbsup:
