Been working on the car the past few nights. I have the passenger side almost finished and have the driver side finished. Talk about a learning experience ha! First time for sheet metal work. I think it turned out well for my first time. We will see how the rest turns out. Will be doing the firewall and cowl area next. Also have to get on the phone with Ridetech and Moser this week to get this thing rolling. Wish me luck!
Thank you sir, should have a few more updates after the weekend. But before then, do I need to brace the windshield frame before removing the upper/lower cowl and dash? What you you guys think? just dont want the body to move before I remove it. I already have the firewall plate away from the cowl. Was thinking of making a steel brace from driver to passenger side windshield frame rails.
That's a great job on the tubs,metal works looks real good
Thanks, I know this is a dumb question and know it's been asked hundreds of thousands of times. I've been look at rear suspension options and I'm stuck! I was originally going to go with ride tech airbar and now I'm leaning towards the torque arm. For the money they are both great systems. Just trying to see which would be better for the long term use. I'm wanting great drivability and handling. The car will see more street time than track but I want it to be able to perform on the track and do well. You guys thoughts? And yes I've done three days of research and using the search tool here along with other cites and such. Just looking for some more as I can't seem to make my mind up. Maybe some experienced drivers with the system can let me know which system would be better for my application.
Your doing a great job and seem to be making really good progress. I love seeing these cars being brought back to life and done right.
Cant help you on the suspension question only because I am biased due to the fact that I'm only into road racing these cars. My answer from that perspective would be a 3 link.

Thanks for the reply! I thought for sure I wouldn't get any feedback as this has been covered several times. I'm fixing to spend over 2k on a system and only want to do it once. I was looking at both BMR and TCI torque arms. For road racing I know the TCI would be the way to go as it is track proven and have not seen that much feedback out of the BMR suspension but assume it would be very close in performance due to the similarities. As I'm not much of a welder(getting better though) I was looking into the BMR system. Seems to be a straight forward system. What do you think about BMR? Thanks in advance
