Hey all, just moved from Sacramento to Ventura a few months back. Don't hold it against me, born and raised in Michigan and will always call that "home"... Can't wait for my first car show down here this weekend (the Santa Maria thing, whatever it is). Should be a good time for all, no doubt... Currently working on a (you guessed it) '67 Volvo 122s. Got the rear unibody cut out and the back-half put in, got the 8.8" rear end narrowed and ready for axles. Plan to do Mustang II up front with a 347 SB Ford / TKO transmission. More likely a stock 302 at first though. Got it all set up for coil-overs, parallel 4-link, watts linkage, and 12" wide tires out back... Should be riding 4" off the pavement and lookin slick once it's done. Anyway, like most of you I'm sure, I could go on and on... We all know threads are worthless without pics right?! Axle in the fixture and ready to weld... All welded up! Rails going in... Rails in! (still need to gusset obviously, fan of external gusseting) About how it'll sit, plan to run 15x10 smoothies w/ 3"-3.5" BS though.
Guess I'll prob get ragged on about the whole "traditional" thing... Who knows where's a 50's designed Volvo fits I guess. Odd man out every time!
