Ken I ran into the same info but did find this:
Industrial Metal Craft
Place page

4715 West Harmon Avenue
Las Vegas, NV 89103-5215
(702) 873-8664

Ken, I spoke to Dan and he remembers them, they had two versions. One was just like a regular wishbone and the other had a hole in it for the tie rod to pass through. He has that info in his computer somewhere and will try to dig it out. I'll keep you posted.

On another note, my tires from Coker showed up today. The 8 inch Firestone rear slicks are perfect for the rpu, and I like them even better than the 10 inchers I had on the 23. My fronts came too, so as soon as I get my rear rims back from the powdercoater I can get them all mounted. I was impressed that they got here this fast. I placed the order Tuesday and they showed up today, Thursday. I used my HAMB Alliance discount and saved $110.00! That is about 10%.

Tomorrow my plans are to start beveling the cuts on the front frame rails so I can get those welded up. My 34 axle should be here any day now.....anxious to see that one come.

Hi guys today I was visiting one of my rodder friends in the big smoke (Auckland) and was tell him about this conversation on stainless split bones and he told me to get your to try "Fatman's Eng" . That is what he remembers as the name of a hotrod fabrication business up there that sold S/S bones and had two types,normal or with lightening holes done probably. Steve, my friend used to spend our winter up in LA building hot rods for a wealthy movie studio guy so got to know where to source stuff from. I hope this is some help guys.

Whip, I looked at Fatmans site, and while they make some ss parts I didn't see any wishbones. But it looks like Ken has found the one that did carry them, Industrial Metalcraft in Las Vegas. That is from the Rod and Custom article.

Good luck, Ken, hope you score a pair.

Don,
How did that counter rotating cutter work for you? I saw them at the COSTCO store here in KC a couple of days back and wondered if it worked or not?

I think he sent it back and chose to use something else? Not sure. What's Costco selling them for?

$129.99 as I recall, "As Seen On TV" cutter and blades plus a second set of blades.

Back to the stainless split bones, apparently there are more sets available from the guy in Vegas, Ken got ahold of him, and he's selling them through the local SoCal Speed Shop franchise. Here's a set that was purchased yesterday by a buddy in Vegas.

MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... Shiney.......
Those look nice. Now with lightning holes, sleaved.........

Those are really nice looking, and I bet in certain applications that pass through for the tie rod comes in handy. I like em.

Roger, Steve is right, I passed on the dual blade saw. I had forgotten that my Son Dan bought one like it from Sears and returned it because he tried cutting some boxing plates with it and the thing kept wanting to kick back at him. I ended up using our bandsaw and it did fine.

Today I got my 34 axle and propped it up for a looksee. For what I want this car to look like this one fits better than the Superbell I had originally intended on using. Just looks older to me. I am going to run it suicide and it looks like my tie rod will clear behind the axle. Glad I found this one on Ebay, it is in really nice condition and staight.

Just a quick shot of it mocked up today.

Mike in Tucson (Robot) and I went by this guys shop today. He really makes some nice stuff. I ordered a set of stainless wishbones from him. At the price he sells them for I can't come close to fabricating them myself.
