Cool Update 2/14

Got some welding done .... I double checked all the angles and fired up the welder, most welds went well ... except towards the end the wire feed was acting up I ended up with more wire on the floor then the car.

Anyway, it was being APITA ... but the hoop and the trunk bars are in and solid, I'll work on the kicker bars tomorrow.









Oh yeah, I took a trip down to Columbus, NM to pick up a '71 Datsun p/u with my nephew ... Columbus is 3 miles from Mexico and back to Denver in two days. Let's just say it was an adventure with the truck ending up on a U-Haul dolly and three days later.

Think I'll stay home for a few days after that .... the Camaro got some loving on Valentines Day!

Thanks for looking ....

looking good chief, modifying the floor for ride height seems to be common with the 4 bar set ups, I'm probably going to do the same on mine, and I have a Alston set up I think, been a couple months since I've seen the boxes,

Nice progress Michael,
What are your plans with the outer wheel housings? looks like you've got something up your sleeve!

Steve, I figure I'd wait til I can cycle the rear thru its range before I make a box, looking at the air bar upper link ....it may bind on the AirRide cradle mounting bracket first. I would like to have 4 inches of travel in the rear, I'll see what that takes to get er done.

Default Its snowing ... again!

just when you get used to the warm weather ..... it snows again!!!

Been working on the outerwheel house fab and then ran outa propane for the heater, grrrr .... thought about going out in the blizzard to get a refill and thought it's not worth ending up in the ditch.

So, I'll see what tomorrow brings, not much of an update thou!

Smile It was above

freezing so I had to get out to the garage! Ok, barely above freezing but still .... had to get something done on the Camaro. Blasted winter and the snow!!!

Anyway, working on my outerwheel houses, roughed in and pretty close ... just need to trim and weld em together. The mod will give me 3 1/2 inches above the outer wheel lip .... which may be more than I have travel but just in case she's good!












This mod is more work than I thought to get it dead nuts .... first one is always the hardest, other side should take less time!

Think I'll trim the lip 1/2 inch to get around 14 3/4 inches at 12 o'clock on the opening .... should be plenty for 315's or 335's.

Thanks for looking .....
