Big deal.... those are the same seats in my Miata....




LOL

Wow! Your car is looking killer! If I wasn't so stuck on keeping the rear seats I would of done the same set up.

Thanks for the update! This project is too cool! I dig the Watt's linkage adjuster. I thought the one I made for my sprint car was trick...it uses a track bar mount from a NASCAR left truck arm to adjust in 1/4" increments.

It's sort of funny seeing the rusty tin that's left up against brand new tube.

Nice work!

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Car is turning out way nicer than I had planned. Would have blasted the body before starting the project had I known what it would have turned into. Now I get to prep it by hand.

GW- Need to look closer at that Miata as my seats barely fit into my car from the shoulder restraints. I assume you do not have those on your seats.

The easiest thing to do on the pistons would be get another set of rods .125 longer, but it is not everyday you can find a set of Pankls for $600, so they are remaking the pistons.

Race car? Carpet and cup holders and I am good to go. LOL

Very nice fab work going on here Payton!

I'll assume the chassis will feel somewhat similar to Shorty's pony, thus being a LOT of fun to drive. :thumbsup:

Yes, they are exactly the same......only different. :sieg:

I buy from these guys, and they are straight up.
I see a lot of Pankl rods going for cheap. You buy yours new?

Dude, where is the A/C compressor, and why is there steering linkage attached to rear-end of the vehicle? Is this a rear steer setup--so Kramer can drive it like the fire truck?

You are all kinds of awesomeness.

Best streetcar yet.

D

yeah, those guys are masters of tin work........so how did they get the tin around the tubing? Most of it looks seamless and super tight fitting.

You're joking... right? :sieg:

No, good geometry is good geometry.
'Somewhat' is relatively vague.......like your completion date.
