this thread won't be moving nearly as fast as some others, but i have the bare frame in the garage and have been grinding away. i don't have a lot of free time since i'm active duty and spend most of my spare time fighting, but i'm really enjoying the fabrication so far.
here's my little two-car garage that i'm doing all the work in. it gets cramped fast.
here's a few shots of the radius arms i just finished up today. i cut down some old radius arms and used 2x3 rectangle tubing. i welded johnny joints on the ends.
i just upgraded to contributor status so hopefully there's no problem with these pics showing. i'm putting them in my gallery so if they don't show up here then you can see my gallery here
i have two sets of full width axles and i'm not sure which ones i'm going to use. one set is from a 78-79 w/ cast wedges and the other is a 72-77 w/ welded wedges. i'm leaning towards using the cast wedges on this one so i can hold onto the other for a 3 link i've been brainstorming for a future build.
right now the machine work is being done on my 408 stroker. i have afr 185's hydraulic roller cam, and holley ta carb for it. i picked up two np435's which turned out to be wise because the first one had the 31 spline output shaft and the gears were mangled. i have 4.5" deaver coil and wh leaf springs and a 1" bodylift.
i'm really only focusing on the frame right now. once that's done i'll look at tackling the floorboards and other sheetmetal.
