Well I'm boarded
I've been cleaning up the shop throwing a bunch of junk out. I got boarded so I decided to build a chassis. The front end is from a 84 Suburban I had the steel is left over from jobs long gone.
http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...U/IMG_1296.jpg The ride height will be 5.5 " With 20 X 8 wheels http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...U/IMG_1306.jpg 2X4 .083 Wall tube http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...U/IMG_1305.jpg I aways wanted to try this the truck will be so low with straight suspension I decide to wack 2 inches out of the center crossmember http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...U/IMG_1261.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...U/IMG_1277.jpg I post some more pictures in a couple of days. LATER! |
A friend of mine works at one of the NASCAR teams he said that he would make me a center link. All I have to do is cut the old one to lenght so he can measure it up.

Why's that? If you have a chance like that wouldn't you take it. Hey Lou! More pics. can't wait to see more of this project. |
Race-Rodz asked me if this was the Corn Binder? Sad to say it's not I have to save up some money to get my wheels I really like those Boze Forged Pro-Tournig wheels. So i'll do this one real quick because I have the parts this project is all spare parts and left over steel.

Ill be following along with this project, sounds interesting.
BTW i hope all is well for you Lou, ill sure miss you on the show. |

I hope you start sending parts out to the SY/TY guys and there money back! |
Looking forward to see how this one ends up.
Wish you got the chance to finish the road racing mustang. It was(and hope it will remain) an informative/ entertaining show. |
I thought that the engine might sit alittle to high so I made the crossmember thinner.

looks good!

So what are the plans for the body? What year are you going with? I like your adjustment hole set up on the frame jig looks like a style I may have to copy for one I am starting to build. Any other shots of the table it self?

Most of the heavy work is done. I'll hang the body and nose so I can make the core support.

Nice work. Are you using a turbo 350 or 400 with the gear vendors? Why did you pick the Gear Vendors?

Well I started putting the body on the frame. I know what most of you guys are thinking what the hell is taking so long. It is a real pain in the ass to get your own show and web site built way more than I ever thought it would be. Any way the body is in place and it looks crazy!
http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...U/IMG_1949.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...U/IMG_1952.jpg That engine set back isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I didn’t have to cut out the whole firewall. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...U/IMG_1953.jpg I’ll put the bed on when I get it off of the table. It will be a lot easier. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...U/IMG_1948.jpg |
I was a little worried about the shifter. I was already thinking RAG TOP like the old V-DUBS but NO !! It fit.

Looks good Lou, How the heck do you shift? Can we get a video of you shifting that thing? :lol:
