Looks great!! How much sweep and Z you running on that frame?

 

Ill measure it monday when i go back to school...

 

Simple pencil sketch...

 

very nice fabrication work ! looking good

 

First time front end install... Ohh clean new parts...

We heated up the seal and bearing adapter so it would slide right on. glowing blue hot and slid right on.

 

Next we took a torch a black smudged the area... why might you ask. well next i MIGed some tack welds to the bearing race that needed to be removed. the black smug keeps the slag from the MIG from sticking to any parts. THANKS Jamie, kool trick. the heat from the MIG made the race slide ride out with just a slight tap. Then installed the new race.

 

next all the rotor bits and pieces. this is just mock up so we didn't pack and bearings...

 

spin the rotor while tightening the nut.

 

brake caliper is next, mockup so no pads yet. i decided to flip the bones for clearance reasons.

 

Front end looks good, looks like i need to notch the front for more clearance.

 

oops forgot to upload the photo. ok time for my birthday drinks!!

 

looking good!

 

anytime budd, we are having fun doing the things we do!!!!

 

Hell must have froze over? Jamie just posted!?

 

BTW, next breakfast will be the 13th of Dec

 

Just passing by and saw the thread, Wish I could simple sketch like this.
(might have some camber issues to resolve )
Looks great!

 

well didn't have much time over turkey vacation to check the H.A.M.B, had the shop heated up and stuck up some new shelves and found some time to finish the drivers quarter window and get a door top on the 35, and yes I will be there and try to out eat the 2 fella's that beat me!!!

oh ya thanks for helping me figure out how to "quote"

 

rear shock mount...

 

Round shock eye mount for the wish bones. that is red reflecting from the frame bench not a contaminated weld...

 

It looked fairly contaminated to me.......just kidding. Welds look great Curt. Good thing I showed you how to make it look good.

 

This is really cool! Subscribed.

 

Hey Curt after you left Lee finished up the spring and I helped him get it under the frame. It worked out nice now.

 

Lose the scoop. It aint a freakin Nova!
