Figured since it was gonna be 72 degrees out I'd roll the car outside, get the garage paint booth going and get the quarter and the wheel houses in epoxy. I did finish the drivers side trunk plate, that is what necessitated taking off that side of the car. I'll work on the plates tomorrow and should get the roll bar welded ... we'll see. Some pixs ... http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/ug5S1B.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/S5bzDp.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...911/r8xYpF.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...633/PucHXT.jpg Supposed the snow again Wednesday so I'll have to get busy and finish the roll bar and maybe primer ... Thanks for looking .... |
Update 2/14
Got some welding done .... I double checked all the angles and fired up the welder, most welds went well ... except towards the end the wire feed was acting up :headscratch: I ended up with more wire on the floor then the car.
Anyway, it was being APITA ... but the hoop and the trunk bars are in and solid, I'll work on the kicker bars tomorrow. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...673/8HjW4C.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/WOHTav.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/J1FS0U.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...907/s8El91.jpg Oh yeah, I took a trip down to Columbus, NM to pick up a '71 Datsun p/u with my nephew ... Columbus is 3 miles from Mexico and back to Denver in two days. Let's just say it was an adventure with the truck ending up on a U-Haul dolly and three days later. Think I'll stay home for a few days after that .... the Camaro got some loving on Valentines Day! Thanks for looking .... |
Moving along nice chief. Got to Love that insulated garage!
|
looking good chief, modifying the floor for ride height seems to be common with the 4 bar set ups, I'm probably going to do the same on mine, and I have a Alston set up I think, been a couple months since I've seen the boxes,
|
Nice progress Michael,
What are your plans with the outer wheel housings? looks like you've got something up your sleeve!:welder: |

Steve, I figure I'd wait til I can cycle the rear thru its range before I make a box, looking at the air bar upper link ....it may bind on the AirRide cradle mounting bracket first. I would like to have 4 inches of travel in the rear, I'll see what that takes to get er done. Quote:
:thankyou: I am going to fab up outers that will attach to the outer and go straight to the quarter but not attach to .... not going back w original fender lip stuff! |
Its snowing ... again!
just when you get used to the warm weather ..... it snows again!!!
Been working on the outerwheel house fab and then ran outa propane for the heater, grrrr .... thought about going out in the blizzard to get a refill and thought it's not worth ending up in the ditch. So, I'll see what tomorrow brings, not much of an update thou! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/lpjaWn.jpg |
