Just read through the whole thread...

I'm a police officer in Texas and I think its pretty cool you guys are building this car as a tribute to all of our fallen brothers. Keep up the good work guys.

who did all the manifold work for you? someone local? I really like the custom brackets and I will be needing some injector bungs welded in a manifold soon!

some friends of mine had their 64 GTO done at dominator this car is def. in good hands!

Kevin Thompson from Hot Rod Solutions did all the manifold work. He is a great guy to deal with and I highly recommend him if you are wanting any custom work done a your manifold. Here is a link to his website.

Greg, how's everything else coming along? Is the chassis done yet?

Awesome work! Knowing how AL can be to fab I can appreciate the work done. What brand fuel rails?

Very nice what I have seen so far! I can't wait to see it come to life.. Going to be a pretty good looking car.

The fabrication on this project looks absolutely top notch but to be quite honest, I'm worried that a lot is being left on the table with many of the current suspension and chassis solutions. I see that many of the rod ends are loaded in bending, a lot of un-accounted for load paths, many suspension mounts in single shear, and a lack of triangulation. I'm also unsure of why there are rocker arms and push-rods on the rear suspension. There doesn't seem to be any issue packaging an adequately sized damper directly on the rear control arm.

All of the ATS suspension setups I've seen have the spring perch on the bottom control arm. With the pushrod mounted on top of the upper ball joint, I'm worried that the rear uprights may be loaded in a way they aren't designed to be.

Don't get me wrong, I like the build and the fabrication is great. I would just expect that a professionally built chassis would have some more engineering best practice applied.
