Grendel
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)

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.

"this" in my previous post means the Camaro.

Spent a fair bit of time noodling on it, reducing drama along with my wife trying to make me a better Christian.
