thats good

I wouldn't worry about a little rust, just take one spot at a time and get rid of it. It's a long process sometimes but the end result is killer! Hang in there and SAND-SAND-SAND!!!!!!

After a week of rain days I did manage to get the firewall patched in and smoothed out and painted. Not sure if the black is going to stay but at least it is finished, another checked off the list!!

Been a while since I've been out here, but glad to be back. Still waiting on my motor. Crank from Callies is on back order. Once it comes in, motor will be put together. Still working on getting the interior carpeted. Friend of mine building a custom center console but other than that, I haven't touched to car in 2 months. You know, bottom of the food chain thing!!

Gettin' the motor plate dialed in. Just about ready to pop the aluminum in the CNC to cut the finished product.

Motor plate is cut to size.............. taped, bolted and clamped in place. ............ ready to mount. ..................... I am a recovering puter' haul ik'. This was my rehab project for today. HEHEHE

you building a tank or car

wow heavy duty mount what would that plate weigh approx ? i know it is aluminum but a just courious
beats the hell out of my arc welder and grinder.
i have come to realize that i am out of my league compared to some guys without massive investment and tripling my garage size such is life, i still have fun though and i dont bitch about the known fact there will always be nicer cars than mine. we all are still miles ahead of 95 % of the population and they can look at our cars and say "i could do better than him"

It's aluminum. It also serves as a cross member and added support for the lower strut mount.

It doesn't matter how much or how little money you put it your project. As long as it's enjoyable to you, that's all that matters. A budget hot rod, trumps an expensive production car in my book any day.

Looking real good Pro you did a nice job on making your own plates


canadianal dont ever feel that your out of your league on this site, theres everything from stock classics to full on drag cars on this site but the one common thing we all share is the fact that we all love to wrench on our own rides so ya fit right in

and the size of the garage dosent reflect on the quality of the car..i've been building a full on tube chassis GTO for the past five years in a simple one car garage ....matter of fact I had to jack the car up and push it all the way to the left wall just to have enough room to work on stretching the wheel opening on the drivers side today I'd love to have a 40x40 pole barn but all we can do is make do with what we got I guess

I must confess. It's not entirely mine. I bought a motor plate blank and trimmed it with the CNC to fit the chassis. Not a very large difference in the cost compared to buying an aluminum plate. So, I opted for the time savings of not having to enter all that bolt pattern information into the puter'.

Thanks Richard. It's Sloooowly taking shape.
