On the shaved handle thing I will have a emergency method to get the doors open even with no battery power all you will need is a jumper pack and know where to attach the wires.I have an electrical engineer working on the whole wiring harness from scratch and it will all be relay driven.

[johnparts]

Thanks for all the compliments guys I'm hoping this car will get me back into the business too.

I'd Be inerested in the driprail step by step as well. Looking good!

[johnparts]

I'll post it after this weekend when I do the other rail

[wellis77]

Thanks for the offer on the drip rail, I'm looking forward to that. This is a great build!

[johnparts]

First wheel showed up today and I got to mount a junker tire so I can finish my axle mock-up and 4 link

[wellis77]

That'll look good on there. What are the specs on the 20's? I'm looking forward to seeing how these will look.

[johnparts]

20x10 with a 6 inch backspace. 295/40/20 tire.

I see you don't take your space for granted. I feel your pain. I am doing a PT build on an F body in a one car garage in an apt complex... Nice project though!

[wellis77]

I'm curious how the 20 will look on the front, but I like it so far on the back.

[johnparts]

I'm going 18's om the front Wellis 20 would never fit ever. I did however get the 4 link installed yesterday. I will be posting pictures soon . I didn't get a chance to do anything with the drip rail though so No pictures of that until next weekend.

[johnparts]

Got the 4 link pretty much done this weekend still need to weld in the drivers side upper and finish weld in the upper mount on the passenger side. Pics cause you all like them.

[johnparts]

I'm going to tie the center of the upper mount to the old pinion snubber plate on the floor pan the weld in a plate on the floor pan inside the car to spread the force out a bit.

I say turbocharge and inject the slant 6 to be different.

I was going to turbo the slant BUT I got offer a few more bucks then I could say no to (30k Mile slant's don't pop up for sale everyday) so I will be going with the 8 and I might be going 3g hemi if I can scrape up the funds

[wellis77]

4 link looks good. Hold out if you can for the 3g Hemi. I waited and waited and got a smoking deal on my engine with accessories. I then stalked ebay and got a crazy deal on the computer and harnes. I have the AEM programmable unit so it will take some time to dial everything in but I'm looking forward to the learning process.

18's will look real good on the front. I mentioned it on FABO, but you nailed the stance and I hope you keep it right there. Just depends on how things fit in the front. I forgot if you had already mentioned it, but are you keeping the stock front end, doing an Alterk, something else? Keep up the good work.
