Re installed the frame pieces today

[srcracing]

started to box the steps in the rear frame. Didn't finish today, ran out of material and Argon...

This is going to be a great build.

[srcracing]

Started a rough mock up of the rear suspension. 9" ford with 45" truck arms.

[srcracing]

Started to build the truck arm cross member.

[srcracing]

Still have to finish boxing the crossmember, the next pieces will go where the card board templates are.

[srcracing]

Almost have the truck arm cross member finished, just need alittle more welding...

[srcracing]

Also worked on the track bar and mounting...

Well, I've been working on the car, and my internet was down at the house, so I haven't posted any up dates, but I will try to catch this thread up. Rear frame welded in, painted and final install. 31 spline Moser axles, G Force posi unit, and Strange nodular case, check.

`Got my parts from Tobin at Kore3.com all I can say is THANK YOU! they are great people, and great parts....

[srcracing]

Well, I finally have it back on it's wheels! I can feel it getting closer to back driving, Can't wait!

[srcracing]

Now it is time to get the engine bay ready to get the power installed. Holes in firewall welded shut, sections of firewall hammered and dollied for engine clearance, and paint

[srcracing]

Finally got the engine assembled. 01 LS1, bored .010, with SpeadPro flat top pistons, Comp Cams custom grind, ported 241 castings, Holley muscle car oil pan and mellings HV oil pump. Should make some good power!

Engine sitting in the engine bay, finally....

[srcracing]
