Basically the whole floor will be out, but im keeping it in place and welding it to the frame. I thought about just making a new one.. And yes, it will all be connected with 2x4 front to rear. Seemed easier since I dont have a proper jig and its getting welded to to body anyways. Then a cage on top ...

For a drag car there front end setup would be great (didnt see it listed anymore tho). Looked like it would be a very limited for front tire room to me, just going off the pictures I saw when I was looking into front suspension.

Yeah im just doing a standard t56 setup, factory looking body panels for a "stock look". Only advice I have is set a time frame goal. Expect to tripple it. But.. if you can dream it, and want it bad enough, it can happen. Takes a ton of planning, work, and thought. Drag cars have different...

frame - Round 2! All the copper is weld through primer. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/Alxsmt/build%20thread/34181405_10156988960922437_5119626271239700480_o.jpg had to take my jackstands out to make room for the frame.

Got enough steel yesterday to finish up. Started cutting it last night. Also Have my rear rails ordered up, and getting mandrel bent! Finally! Those are about 3 weeks out. Hoping to make some good progress tonight!

Decided to only get the front and rear sections bent up. Worked on it all weekend and have the passenger side frame rail tacked in (center section). Ran out of steel or the other side would be in also! Im having issues getting my bends made up tho. Send in my final drawing, tell them im ready, the g...

Well yeah, But now that I have measurements of exactly where the frame is going, and im starting over.. why not have some pieces bent for a much better end result? Its looking like It will be bent in 3 sections, then Ill weld those together and make it all work. But.. I am undecided on one bend.. I ...

Bored waiting from class to start so I thought I'd update real quick. I'll post pictures at some point, but it's all changing. I got one frame rail done and ready to go inside the passenger compartment. The other side is ready, but the car isn't cut to accept it yet. Going through the firewall, I fo...

Thanks! Im just an apprentice, not sure If i can carry the electrician title just yet. Few more years! Electrical industry seems like a good line of work so far tho (Im 2 years in). The pictures seem to be working again, but not sure how long! Ill definitely check it out when I get a chance. Did a l...

Yeah, he took some writing liberties lol. But he is the guy that is getting paid I guess. Who did the one on woodys car? I think I remember domestic crew magazine or something years ago. Thanks! I never thought of it for a convertible setup, that could work! It may not end well in a crash tho.. but ...

Almost forgot, I got contacted a few months ago by this writer out of the blue. He found my thread and wanted to do a few articles.

Im a bit late.. Im not on here much anymore. Glad to see somebody else in oregon! Clean car!

I have bought some konis in the past that didnt extend, but to adjust them you had to compress all the way and turn the shaft. I was fairly worried, but going on 3 or so years with them and zero issues. Different application, but thought id share. Kybs did always seemed to have some good pressure be...
