Are you going to be using the car as a race car? Street/track both?

How did you delete the lights in the grill? It turned out really nice. Kind of cleans up the whole front end.

I like the front and rear clip so far. Nice welds and nice fit. The car is mainly a track car so there´s not gonna be any upholstery, audio system or such. Will try make it street legal though.

I edited my previous post - there´s your answer regarding the front grille...

Ok, now I see how you sectioned the grill. Good idea, looks really nice.

Thanks for posting all of the pictures, keep them coming.

What part of Sweden are you in? I hear there are some pretty crazy builds going on over there these days.

Do you ever go to the car show/cruise in at the museum in Umea°?

The front fenders on this build is the first sheet metal work for me. They were in such a bad shape I figured I might as well have a go with them. Bought some hammers and dollys etc and got started.

Anyway, thanks!

My pleasure!

I live in the middle of Sweden - approx 100 miles north of Stockholm. Never been to Umea though. Never visited the States either. A must before I´m three feet under! Cruise/cruising isn´t my cup of tea really, but I´ve been on power tours in southern Sweden and some track days.

I am really amazed with the fabrication work you are doing and that is one hell of a clean shop

Very nice "garage" if it can be called that. I think I deserves to be called something more than that! Also I thought when people they go 6 feet under.

Got any pics of the mods you would of had to make (since it's tubbed) to the TCI rear torque arm mounts for the two link brackets?

EDIT: Nice build!!

My bad! But...

We end up about the same depth anyway, cause here in Sweden we´re not so big around the waist...

Will check later if I have any pics. Should have at least of the front brackets. I cut those almost in half, leaving just the front of it and welded that to the tubing (new frame rails). Rear brackets, coil over cross member, I made almost completely from scratch. Don´t have any pictures of that but will take some next time the car is on jacks.

Thanks!

Those wheels and tires are borrowed, but the size is gonna be about the same. 15x12" in the back and 15x8" in the front. 10" wide in front would have been nice, but that would only be possible with 18" wheels though.

Thank you!
