got a little bit more done yesterday.

due to the caliper brackets hitting the spindles, I decided to grind the spindle down over grind the caliper bracket.

not machine quality.. but it will work. Polished it down to 220 and called it good.

Also modified the factory subframe a bit more. Now control arms actually move. Its VERY ghetto, but it only has to support the weight of the front end until the frame goes under then its scrap metal. As it sits it wont do that, I will box it all in and gusset it, probably going to tie both sides together too.

Had to toss it together real quick to see what the brakes were going to look like. Yes I know its upside down

sawzall is just for size reference

14" rotors dont seem that big with these wheels

I didnt measure anything when I put the subframe in for the brake pics. Thought it looked cool so I took a pic of this too.

that is all till next time.

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