Tubing and front control arm will be at the shop tomorrow. Time to get the tubing bender out. Short week this week, but this project is a priority for me. Time to test the old ME degree! Going to be mocking up the front geometry first and then creating a rear subframe for the rear end.

 

[FastWagon]

Just heard back from VRN on a bunch of parts. Can't wait to see that housing in the car *wink*

 

[Ups-Charger]

As soon as I start thinking that way, spring will be on top of me. Designing the details is one thing, and then there's all of the work to finish weld it and put her back together. Lots to do. Can't let it sit idle.

 

[Ups-Charger]

Very very true justin, i could see it being like oh we'll put this to the side for a lil while, next thing you know its feb and nothing and its half done haha.

And Nathan, we havent weighed it yet, but we're thinking 4 guys could be able to lift up the whole thing.

 

[FastWagon]

Added some pics. Have plenty more but I've been having camera dificulties. It likes the pics so much it wont give them up.

 

[tnek]

Amazing.

 

[ujokin2]

Going to be watching with interest.

Well if you can please do, I know many are curious what a shell alone weights and how much weight you were able to remove.

 

[MuscleMan305]

Maybe we should go take a pic of the four of us lifting it. Justin, Phil, Mike and Myself should suffice don't ya think?

 

[05silvhemimag]

wow i though he was done after the 8-71 blower haha..... i guess its never enough, is this going to be street legal and enough room made to run 12 to 14 in wide wheels or sticking with 10, to 10.5 ????

 

[Ups-Charger]

Will be 100% street legal and full interior!, and im going with 10.5 inch wheels.
