I have been working on the hood hinges this is what i have so far, still looking for a latching mech, to hook at the rear of the hood too upper cowl area.
I wanted some thing simple an lite so this is what we came up with.
Thanks for looking

Those hinges look really nice, love how clean they are.

You may have already mentioned it, but is there a reason you didn't lay the radiator the other direction and fab an air evacuator with all of the extra room?

Nice work!

x2 I was curious also - are you planning to run an intake over the top (eg: Corvette style)?

Keep 'em coming.

I wanted it as simple an lite as posible. Iam hopeing to come in at 3100 to 3200 pounds.

1 of the reasons for the rad lay back in this direction is the sway bar that we are looking at will mount on top of the frame rail in front of the motor, I dont have a link to show it ,maybe Robert can locate it an post it.
The other reason is that i wanted as much of the weight to be as low and as far back as posible.

Thanks for looking.

Ok, time for a little update. We have both been very busy with all sorts of stuff that isn;t the car lol.

Anyway, finished the bracket designs for the 3-link and had them cut out today. Hope to have the time to tack them to the rear housing in the next couple days. We just set them up on the rear to see how they look.

Here you go!

thats some excellent work man

[David Sloan]

Time for a update
The Dash is mocked up an ready to unbolt epoxy prime do the body work an paint satin black. I think i have an idea for the A/C vent. That will require cutting holes for them.
And that will happen before paint.
The upper part of the dash has been body worked an primed all it needs is sanding and paint.

We got some more done to the 3 link here are some pics. of the lower control arm/shock mounts.
The shock mounts are a little crude but should hold up well.

Looks great David! Any chance you and RS may offer the subframes and 3 link packages for sale? I have a customer who may be interested.

Hi Joe
Yes we are hoping to sell some of these. we are a little ways out before we do that but it is in the works.
The front is easy as it will bolt in, The rear will require cutting some to package the upper link.

This car will be a good example of how the suspension will work, But the floors will not be the same as stock because of my choice to completely remove the rear seat an package tray.
It will work with a rear set, BUT it will need to be moded.
Thanks an give me a call so we can talk some more if you like.
