    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.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    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.

    Cool deal all around! Bob and Ken nice wishbones, Don it's looking good! I can't tell you how much I learn from your posts. Between you Steve and Ken, I'm going to have to build a little roadster next! Until then I'll watch and learn!
