Thread: Streetwerkz 30 sedan build

been SWAMPED at werk, gotten a few things done
God how I wish I could get 2 weeks of no werk to really just kick ass on this thing
Got some more sheet metal werk done on the cowl
made a new rear sub frame x-member, had some 11 ga bent into a "C" channel, then traced the profile on the old one, radius pie cut the "C" channel to match the old x-member, and bingo, werkz great!!
So, 4 hours of labor later, and trading a favor to the sheet metal shop I find out I could have purchased this same part for $70:laughing1:
O-well
layed up the sub frame, squared and centered everything on the table to start welding her up.
Got the perimeter frame back from Car Co., it looks great!!
A few things I couldn't figure for are going to need changed, but nothing major.
computer can only get you close when your mentally challenged like I am :biggrin:
anyway, here's some pics

a few more

Wow Josh, you have really come sooooooo far on this project. The body is starting to shape up well too and the subframe will make it all straight.

BTW, if you are going to run a stainless cowl band on it, let me know. We are now "experts" in getting one to fit properly, after wrestling with the one on Dan's car for a full week. We finally found out what we were doing wrong and now it fits as it should.

Looking really good Josh, keep us in the loop, we love your updates.

Don

Looks really good! Just curious, how many degrees did you put your front cross member in at?
