      Hey man, I just noticed your thread. Love the mods you did to get that G-link to sit low, wish I had read this when messing with mine for ride height.

      BTW, your house and shop are awesome too. Keep us posted want to see how this one turns out for sure.

      Dennis,
      Basically the coilover upper mount shares a mounting bolt with the crossover bar. The crossover bar has two bolts on each side that mounts to the frame/ coilover brackets and the coilover shares the inner most bolt with the crossover bar. I fabricated the mount with 1/8th steel and it hangs off the rear of the bracket. Other than the photos that I have already posted, I was only able to find a couple more photos that might help you visualize the rear upper coilover mount better. Hope this helps.

      It's been a while since I updated this project. On the previous page you will find that I finished the suspension and decided to bring the car to a fab shot to have some work done because of a new position at work that took up all of my time.

      Here the engine was dropped in to test fit and start the smooth firewall


      It was a tight fit so a notch had to be made


      Here it is with the engine and smooth firewall.

      The transmission tunnel had to be raised for the T56


      Reliefs in the floor had to be made for the tranny crossmember.


      Then all of the front sheet metal was put back on to make sure everything was going to work and fit correctly.

      I knew I wanted this car to be low. Typically with the chassisworks rear suspension it is a challenge to get the exhaust to go all the way to the rear because of the upper links of the suspension system. But I also knew that I did not want it to be annoyingly loud with turndown exhaust. I decided to have these large tunnels fab'd that would allow the exhaust to go up and over the rearend and out the back.


      Although the cars exterior had already been bead-blasted, I decided to step this project up a notch and go ahead and do a full rotisserie restoration and have the rest of the car bead-blasted before it was to be painted.



      So after the car was blasted, the bottom was seamsealed and bedliner material was applied to the bottom of the car.:

      So it's been about 8 years since my last update, and figured I might as well post some photos of how it looks now. After a ridiculously long paint job (1 year and 5 months), a divorce, sale of my house, work drama, and countless other delays, I'm calling this done and on to my next projects, building a new house and my 1967 Nova that I sold 25 years ago and was able to buy back a couple of months ago.

      Thanks. Yeah, I fell in love with those wheels the first time I saw them in another members project update.
