well Im finally getting around to figuring out the image hosting issues. I think im just going to stick with photobucket and pay for it. If any of the images dont work let me know!

I have definitely made some progress since my last update.

This is the theory on my rear subframe mounts. Made from 1/4" flat stock.

tacked in

front side

tigged in! it is an absolute whore trying to lay in the trunk of a car, control the pedal with your elbow, feed filler rod, and work the torch.

and this is where it currently sits!! subframe is held in by C clamps, I have all my hardware to bold it in except for my weld on nuts which are in the mail. I might add a few extra mounts on the subframe for good measure but undecided at the moment.

just got confirmation from Art Morrison today that they can bend this in there mandrel bender. I will be placing my order for 2 of these next week. This is the front frame rail section!

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