Couple more pics. Inner chassis structure is done. Added drive shaft hoops that will also serve as transmission tunnel mounts. Exhaust tacked up and custom hangers made.

Next step, shock towers!

ow. Hard to believe it's been so long since my last post. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make it to my friend's shop the past few weeks. On the bright side, he's been working hard. The Front suspension is done :-)











But more importantly...ITS ON THE GROUND NOW!!! WOOHOOO!

This build is amazing...
and your buddy Forrest, he's a true artist, holy heck. He's basically building a car from the ground up, finishing piece is slapping the original shell on!

Thanks for the support and compliments. Forrest is amazingly talented, and has an eye for detail that I have learned to appreciate, especially after looking at and working with other fabricators.

The body mounts should be mocked up soon, but the car is far from done. Still need to do fuel, all new wiring, steering, cooling, and fender work, at a minimum before I can drive it.

Wow. I didn't realize it'd been so long since an update on here.















Next up, the rockers had some aftermarket weight reduction features that needed addressing:

Making new patch panels:

Exhaust done. Designed to be fully removable/serviceable with the body on. Breaks down into 3 pieces by way of stainless v-band clamps. Eventually, I will have the whole system ceramic coated.
