got a little bit more done a few weeks ago, but ran out of gas for the welder..


2-12-2017

Finally had a chance to work on the thing again. Finally ended up getting ahold of a house, So I would like to get the car rolling soon at least to get it in my garage. Then the real progress can be made!

but this is where im at now. not TOO much farther. but its progress.

figured out where I need to be for the rear roll center, 5 3/4" (front is 2 7/16"). I think that will do for a baseline anyways.

took me 3 tries to get it right..

Diagram for the koni 8212 for the front. I think Im going to have to build a new front shock mount, as it sits I will have about 3" of total travel. Im not sure I like that.

Got the back of the car supported a little better for the cutting thats about to take place. It will need more I think before it can even support the weight of the car. its only welded to sheet metal.

 I need a raise! These working conditions are terrible!

Thought it was an interesting view..

where it sits now. need to cut more out of the front side sadly. the front mounts are hitting the body. Ill be doing that next weekend if the weather is decent.

This thing is wild! That V8 fits in there nicely. Will be the ultimate sleeper.
