I like how you have the front bars following the contour of the A-pillar. Do you plan to have a down bar in that curve going down to the frame?

i would like to know what you guys think of it , thanks Jacco.:smoke:

[chunger]

WOW! Great progress! I take it that's some sort of pump that will be driven off the rear end yoke? Is that to circulate the rear end fluid? Also - what is the suspension design called? It appears to be a 4 link with a centering link that takes the place of a panhard rod or watts link.

[Motown 454]

Wow a lot of progress. Awesome build.

[John Wright]

Very Nice indeed!

[CruizinKev]

wow looks great!!!

[The Stickman]

Wow what an awesome build.

Hey chunger , the pump on the axle is a nascar diffpump . the oil wil cirqulate to the the coiler above the pump and than back in axle .
the rear end suspension is a selfmade fourlink with aurora promod heims .
an a selfmade wisbone above the fourlink .

[CliffS]

Welkom Jacco, awesome build!!

[jfreakofkorn]

Thats a wild build. I cant wait to see it finished...
