mind taking a few closer pics of the work on your uppers? I've got some spindles I want to trade for arms (to build some myself) and am looking for ideas.

What do you need close ups of? Basically I took some 11 gauge 2" flat stock and bent it to the shape of my template. Then I cut some tubing to cover the stock bushings. Then I welded the outside piece to the outside of the arm and tubing. Then I used the inner pieces to trace out the cut, and cut it out to weld the inner piece in.

I can get some more after I finish them. It would of been a lot easier to use tubing instead of this way.


We'll I'm between jobs about to start my new one so I double checked my savings. I have to hold of on buying parts just yet so no junkyard trip for me

I just about have enough for the rack, it looks like I'll be buying the shortened rack from flaming river. I also have some pics of a rendering KID BROOTAL designs is working on for me. It's still in progress but here are some teasers.

I have to hurry up haha I don't know if I'm going to make it now I'll probably rent a van and tow it if I come. I hope I can get it out there!

sweet! i'll be ordering the flaming river rack within a couple weeks (assuming the deal don't fall through on selling my 79... )

the rendering looks good too!!

Any updates on this, Baha?

Hey guys sorry haven't been around much. I've been working on a new web app. I'm not sure who still uses the forum but I'll have some updates posted soon. I mounted the Flaming River rack and pinion a few weeks ago and tomorrow I'm going to take care of some little items so I can set the engine and start the rear suspension. I hope to have pics tomorrow.
