been a long time since i updated this thread. life got in the way.
where i left off was here: http://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/...80&oe=576BDDF0 http://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/...8c&oe=575F7117 http://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/...11&oe=575CA45F what we had was a 1st gen front subframe, with a tube chassis on back. body sits over the top. quickchange rear end with coil overs out back. emphasis on Had. the car was sitting untouched for more than 5 years. i decided with a few more years of experience under my belt that I could do a better job building the car i really wanted, and make it something that would handle better. the chassis i first built was "ok" and would work. but it wasn't that nice, and was obviously put together as a compromise and without a plan from the beginning. time for a new plan. i started working on it in november. bought a clapped out 84 corvette for parts and started in a new direction. this is what we have now. a full tube chassis with corvette front and rear IRS suspension. setting up for coil overs on all 4 corners. http://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/...6c&oe=57716909 http://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/...3c&oe=5727B633 http://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/...80&oe=572B8591 http://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/...a7&oe=572402C0 i'm almost done with the coil over mounts, then i can get to setting an engine in it. |
Well - That's a change - but sounds like good progress!!!:wolf:
|
A lot nice work being done.

rebuilt the front suspension with new bushings and whatnot, test fit a coil over to make sure everything is in the right place.

Looks awesome. You are doing some nice work.

Looking good!! You did a lot of work. Nice!
|
Looking great. You get her running?
|
i wish, nowhere near running yet... lol. just fit engine in for mock up and mounts and stuff.
it's still just a bare frame with a body sitting on it, no floors in it or anything. |
looks good thus far!

still plugging along... chassis is nearly finished, need to mount the fuel cell, tear everything down, and add a few more bars before chassis paint.

Holy hell, that thing looks mean, shit throw a windshield in and drive it like that!
|
finally to teardown stage... time to go over all the welds, add some gussets and some more braces, then paint.

|
Very cool. It'll be one mean machine!
