So we had a really busy week at the shop and really didnt work to much on the car, but come friday morning we were all pumped to jam on it this weekend. I think we all did pretty good, finished building the fixture for the chassis ( mock up only) as well as got the motor mocked up, main rails bent, rocker rails bent, back section mocked up for the independent rear, the front rails mocked up for the front a arms as well as the rack. All in all damn good weekend. The 2 rocker bars were kind of hard because of the staggered bends at the firewall it seemed like it would never end. This weekend I want to thank some of my best friends who could have taken advantage of the last warm day for testing their drag cars but stayed back knowing how important it was for us to get this handled. Polish Mike, Mikey grillo, Inder from Tag Racecraft, Stu Lawson from Modified Mag, Fatty from Bent Metal and my partner Jim Slack but important my MOMMY for several trips to and from the shop with coffees, lunch and dinner lol lol. Also spoke with Jason Rushforth about the wheel delema we have and the decision has been that we are diffently sticking with the pin drives and he can custom cut the wheels for us. The next step on that is finish mocking up the front end, and then we will be sending the front and rear hubs to him to get the ball rolling. He advised us to run 19 fronts and 20 rears so well see I really had my heart stuck on 20x15 with a nasty 10" lip in the rear but he knows best and his advise is crucial to this whole pin drive setup so well see what happens in the next few days
