Couple o progress pics...

Finally got the rear end hung, the engine/tranny mounts in and most everything else done. Just have to connect up the front spring and build a subframe for the cowl steering. Other than that, its about ready to fire. I can't wait! I'm already starting to get that goofy grin.

 

Rad!

 

Cool keep the pics comin

 

looking good, are the front tires bigger than the backs? maybe it's just the camera angle.

 

Looks like a great start, need to keep us updated!

 

More pic's please.

 

look's like you got it going your way !

 

Looks good to me

 

Fronts are the same size as the backs. Its just the camera angle. I'll try'n get more pics up.

 

Lookin good. Congrats.

 

Heres a couple more... I made the rear spring brackets by doing cutouts with some cardboard then took the cutouts to a place here locally where they scanned them and waterjet cut them into 3/8 plate steel. Total cost for both was only $30. I provided the steel but damn thats cheap. Really cool to see the process too. The brackets for the rear radius rods I cut myself and cleaned them up on the grinder. Not perfect but I'm not building a piano just trying to get this on the road. The front axle was dropped 3 1/2 inches by our own Oldracer here on the HAMB. The guy really knows his stuff. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! The holes I drilled with my handy dandy Ryobi cordless. Heres the pics.

 

lookin good. are you going windshieldless? wow thats a wierd word

 

Yeah, just gonna do the goggle thing.

 

Awesome progress man, that ride is coming along just fine...

 

Thanks

 

Spot on, does it for me ! Did you put together that body and frame yourself ? Please keep us posted, thanks.

Today it became a roller. Its the first time its been outta the garage in a year and a half. Heres the pics.

 

The rest.

 

Hey
Could you tell me how you did your front end...
This has got to be the coolest car on here in a long time!!!!




Oh what are you going to do with the steering?

Looks cool man!!

Way to go.

 

Let me know how you're going to tackle the brake lines with the axle that far out.

Looks killer though... Keep up the excellent work.

One little bit of advice, when your weld looks like it does on the inside of the spring mount, turn the heat up and it'll flow in better.

 

I didn't know that about the heat. Does it look like it'll be ok? I sure don't want those brackets coming loose! This is my first build so I'm still learnin... Thanks

 

Its gonna have cowl steering. The sub frame is built, just have to connect up the box. And for the brakes, the flexible lines will reach to the frame rails. Its not as far as it looks.

 

Goofy grin is nothing.....wait until you are driving, post a picture of your shit eating grin when you are passing everyone up on the highway...looks great..

 

Nise start man. You nailed the "look"

 

Thanks!

 

looking good guys!! dont hit any marker lights on the freeway youll take yr ass off!!

 

Its 3 1/2 inches dry and 3 fully loaded. That includes a passenger. Its no 4 wheel drive but not too bad. Guess I'll find out.

 

Today I finished mounting the cowl steering...
