Kustom Rodder Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Outstanding work on those frame rails and cross members also good thinking on ride height.
exesivefire Posted December 8, 2016 Author Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) So I can't leave well enough alone.. remade the rear cross-member and made a center one that will double as a transmission mount. Edited December 8, 2016 by exesivefire
OldNYJim Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 This is great! I love the cutting work on the chassis! I just started one myself this evening, feeling inspired by yours! Great job!
DrKerry Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Andy, really like where this is going!!!!!!! Love the wheel choice and I think the tires look at home on it. Always liked the narrow tires on a traditional type build. I know this isn't a full traditional build with the modern cross members and such but this is really starting to take shape!!!!!!!!!! Have you thought of color yet??? Just curious to what it'll look like when done. What power plant ya thinking on??

Im leaning towards doing a 302 ford with individual throttle bodies.as for color, maybe brown or mint
bobthehobbyguy Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) How did you do the rear cross members? The first ones.Frame is looking good. Edited December 8, 2016 by bobthehobbyguy
Impalow Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 These are going to be so much fun... This thing looks great in person too, nice clean fab work.. as usual.
exesivefire Posted December 9, 2016 Author Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) How did you do the rear cross members? The first ones. Frame is looking good. started as a drawing in illustrator, scored on the scrapbook cutter then finish cut and cleaned up. The first ones were done the same way. Just not as well Edited December 9, 2016 by exesivefire
exesivefire Posted December 10, 2016 Author Posted December 10, 2016 Stated today by trimming up the front of the frame rails to shorten this up a tad, I'm probably going to put the spring behind the axle and that would have ended up pushing the front out to far. I mocked it all back up to start figuring out the front cross-member. Then I got distracted by this gas tank I made for a different project and ended up not using.. Then I just went mad.. why would I do this?? And this... Super scary but super happy with the result. And where I left off for the night

exesivefire Posted December 11, 2016 Author Posted December 11, 2016 Thanks guys! I'm pretty excited about this one
62pyro Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 Great work as always.Can't wait to see it finished.
exesivefire Posted December 11, 2016 Author Posted December 11, 2016 Thanks guys, started on that front cross-member today. It should make sense soon
exesivefire Posted December 12, 2016 Author Posted December 12, 2016 Changed it up a bit and finished up the front cross member
exesivefire Posted December 12, 2016 Author Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) And to put it all together for those trying to figure out what I'm doing here. Whipped up a mono leaf that will live behind the grille/radiator and will attach to the front links. Edited December 12, 2016 by exesivefire
Cool Hand Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Outstanding scratch building as always.You and ya mate Eric are among my favourite builders to watch on this forum.
