My First Ever Project Build.

[craigF]

Hi Everyone just a quick update of where we are at.
We have got the rear end tacked on and are going to pack the trailer and take the car into work to do as many spot welds in a weekend that we can. We'll spend a day marking all the welds we have left from the beginning of the build with a paint pen to check we don't miss any. I have decided on a Chassis works rear end suspension with a fabricated third member housing from a local company down here called Race Products. I found them completely by accident locally here in Brisbane and the work these guys do is amazing. (www.raceproducts.net)
With the axle decided on we needed to get the wheel and tire sizes to get the correct axle length manufactured. I saw a 66 Coupe on this site by with 315-35-17 rears on and set about seeing if i could get that size tucked underneath the rear end without cutting the frame rails as its a big no, no down here if you ever want to get your car road registered.
I looked a the Autoworks minitubs which i think will suit me just fine. They only require the flange of the rail edge cutting and straighten up the inner wheel arch which should give me enough room.
I'll post a couple of quick pictures to give an idea.
