Not to many exciting updates or pictures lately. Got the upper 4-link pockets welded on the bottom and tying up some loose ends to prep for paint on the bottom side of the body. Hoping to shift gears and work on the top side again soon.

I hope something along the way helps. There's a lot of great info on this site!

I tried to watch the Super Bowl but kept wanting to throw something at the TV! I suffered through watching my Broncos lose. I wish more players beside Peyton Manning and Wes Welker showed up. No way to win with no defense, terrible O line, no running game and no open receivers. Got to hand it to the Hawks.. They played well. Especially defense. Enough of that.. Back to cars!

Car's coming along rather nicely! I especially like your avatar of the car. You'll be painting it in no time at the rate your going.

Thanks Jeremy! I'd sure like to be at the point you're at. I have a long way to go.

Still finishing up odds and ends. Nothing new or exciting to post. I picked up some flat bar and square stock to make some weld on brake line mounts. I couldn't find anything on the internet so this is what it came down to.

My iPhone panoramic view isn't quite cutting it. The pictures come out jagged and grainy.

I'm happy with how the rear end and 4-link turned out. Everything seems to be measuring out as planned so far. I need to recheck in relation to the center of the front sub frame making sure the entire car is square before I weld the sub frame connector ties in for good. It's also time for sway bars!

looking good but one suggestion is you might want to add a few more holes to that PHB mount bracket

Thanks Vince! I appreciate you taking time to look at my build and give me feedback. You've definitely helped me along the way. It's got 3 machined into it with a half hole offset on each. You just can't see them with my crappy picture.

Here's a better view of the holes.

I don't know how I missed this thread! And a fellow NorthWetner as well!


Great work.. and a lot of it! I just went from page one.... and my first thought to myself was "why do guys always start out with such clapped out shells...." Because it usually turns out to be way over the guys head... but by golly you've knocked it out! Very impressed with your fab work and planning. Kudos to you!


Now -- stick an LS motor in there! LOL
