The BAD AST Project - Faze II

blyth18md!!! Where were the pics taken? That is pretty cool. I hope Bad Ast doesn't have that much body roll but it is cool to see someone doing this stuff with a box...
Tony, I haven't gotten a whole lot done on the project since the last update a month ago. I built a stand for my H/V bandsaw to make it easier to use but that's about it... Been to freakin hot to even think about doing a lot welding.
I am having some second thoughts on this cradle build though. I am going to do some re-designing tonight. I am thinking about using the stock cradle and just revamping the suspension mounting points to match my designs. I think I will be much farther ahead if I can get the stock cradle to work with the new arms. It may be to big of a job once I get the geometry laid out but I have to look into it just to try to save some time....
I picked up a complete '84 454 for $650 last weekend if that counts for anything. It is complete and was running when it was pulled, so I thought that was a pretty good deal...
