Got a little work done today framing the interior. I bought a Harbor Freight tubing bender and the extra dies for square tubing and opened them up to accept 1". Im using this tubing to replace the...

I like the stance on the car so far, but Im concerned with the front being so low in that I dont think the tires will clear the fenders to turn, so its either widen the fenders for such or change out...

Im thinking I'll use bag shocks on the rear.

I moved the puter from between the front frame horns to the bottom of the engine compartment on the lower passenger side. Much cleaner and it keeps me from having to build/modify a cover over the...

Spend last weekend with some detail work, and planning the intake air plumbing. I mounted the coil, and dressed up the alt&a/c brackets.

I found some 3.5" steel pipe as well as some 4". I cut...

Looking for a 180 degree elbow to place the air filter over top of the motor. The motor opening is oval, and the MAF seems to hold a 3.5" tube. Anyone know a source for these, or do I have to build...

Yeah it was torch, grinder, drill bits, 1" & 3" hole saw, beer, and time.
Thanks for the compliments!

I belt tensioner wasnt working out well in the original position with the belts new angle, so I decided to move it to the driver side since I had more room to work with. Now I have to remount the...

35fordcoupe - thanks for the wiring link

ScooterCo & Stovens - thanks for the feedback and compliment. I bent the tin around a fire extinquisher, and thats the first Ive used a bead roller. Im...

I got it tucked under the dash pretty well. The car orginally had wood sill plates, which Ive redone in steel. I think I will duct a vent into the steel sill plate since its hollow, to channel heat...

I got the slack out of the 4-link. Turns out I had a bad cut on one of my bushing sleeves.

I bought a Manex rear air from 'U yank it' which came out of a limo. I figured for $40 bucks the self...

I have about a 1/4" side to side axle movement. Anyway to get this out? Also, how much clearance should I allow between the frame and rear axle?

Everything tacked in.

I built the triangulated 4-link, and hung the 8.8 rear. I still have to cut out for drive shaft clearance on the cross member, as well as cut the frame for suspension clearance, as the ride height...

Ive been working on the engine wiring harness. I extended the wires to mount the PCM in between the front frame horns.

Motorsickle is sittin in the corner. Good to see you on here, and yes I remember you and the car. Very slick ride!! Drop by sometime, I'll put you to work!

Thanks for your concern, but to answer your question, yes Ive stood on the pedal, and it doesnt seem to flex. I braced in the top of the pedal mount accordingly, and the pedal is of 1/2 steel. Keep...

I still have to build a dress ring for the rear of the column to hide the wire plug, but I think it will clean up nicely. Side view of the column:

I was given a 40's era Ford steering wheel today. I was hoping for an easy install being Im using a ford column, but no such luck. The 40's wheel has a key way, my column has a squared tapered...

Steering column was from an 89 Lincoln. It tilts at the wheel. I didnt want all the extra switches/controls as well as the column shift so after studying the column it seemed like a good idea to...

Mounted the master cylinder on the firewall. I moved it to the far left as possible to allow room for the ECM and or battery box, as well as the air filter assembly. Next was to bend up the brake...
