Hey guys thanks alot for the warm welcomes and the encouragement. I definitely have learned alot throughout the build.
I used the spot blaster to do most of the car, the control arms, and random parts. It works great but, is very time consuming, messy, etc. Ive seen it a thousand times and anyone telling you to source this job out is 100% right.
Spot blasting the car took about a week to do in my backyard! I blasted it with a material called garnet!
The plan is for complete c6 suspension front and rear. Once I create the chassis design, I will have a cad or solidworks designer map it out and then transfer to a laser cutter. Ive already replaced all the balljoints, bushings, shafts, hubs, studs, etc. and upgraded with pfadt parts.
I will post up my fathers drag car very shortly. Some specs on it include, 2000-2200 lbs full tube chassis duster, 750-850 dodge r3 drysump motor, 15x16 33 tires, airshifter, etc. etc. etc. Should pretty much be a monster and a great bracket car. It will be my first time drag racing, so definitely excited.
