Once we've raced and shown a bit, we'll do a build thread.

So, this has been sitting in a corner for most of the year. I've decided to forgive and forget, it's not the way I want to be.

While I work on my Diamond T project, I can putz around on this. Here and there.

This is the tow rig. 1958 Diamond T on a late model suspension, custom frame rails, with a 13.5" custom built aluminum sleeper and a 650hp/1800 ft lb torque Cat I6.

Parts are all there...

It will tow the 4 car stacker and anything else I want, with all the kids in comfort and style.

Where's the slide out...it must have a slide out!
Just kidding! That's VERY cool!

That puppy looks like it will tow anything you need it to.

Now that's a cool project! What a tow rig!

Sorry for the headaches on the build. I just read the whole thing from front to back for the first time and as I was looking at some of the pictures I was having a feeling of "the emperor wears no clothes" as I was seeing weird stuff and nobody back in 2014 was pointing it out.
Best wishes seeing this through. You have a tougher stomach than I.

(edited post as I looked closer at picture in question, while I still think the upper coilover mount is odd, it seems to be welded to the firewall brace for additional support)

Please keep this going! You've came too far to give up now!
Love the tow rig too!
Cheers!

More on the tow rig. We're finishing up the sleeper (all 1/8" aluminum) along with assorted body work and moving onto the mechanical work, the 650hp Cat 3406B is already installed.

Since it's snowing, I got around to this again... Pulled it out of the corner from where it's been sitting since we installed two new quarters and cut one to fit the IRS.

More to come, as my soon to be 18 year old daughter pushes me to finish this.
