    Yep, that's my new digs, Mike! And after YEARS of building hot rods in one-car garages, it is a joy to work in!!

    Master, check out SamIyam's tech thread, I used the same method he does. Works like a charm.

  16. Andy,

    You can't use that axle, it's all bent up and wobblely and stuff...

    Also 4 bars are for gold-chainers.

    WTF man, I thought you knew how to build traditional cars!?! :eek::rolleyes:


    :D

    You didn't even stop in and say Hi? This one will take longer now that you're inside, you won't have to work fast to stay warm. Man 104" that's long haha.

    He described it above, I also did them on the frame for my RPU.

    Sliced mine with a zip cut blade.

    Be prepared for your share of distortion, the tubing moves all over the place with all that welding on one side.

    The rails can be straightened out with a few slices to bring them back and some more to curve them to match the body as I also did.

    Pictures in my build thread as well.

    This will be interesting to watch, can't wait!

    I've got to ask, your 6'1" -6'2' right?

    Design features include:
    A hole in the firewall for your feet.
    A seat mounted between the frame rails to keep the bugs out of you teeth using the Duvall or you have to lay way back (land luge)?

    Just kidding, I'm sure it will be cool, Can't wait!
