vintagedragfan Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 I got tired of scratching my head over the front suspension and decided to move on and make a little progress, I removed to upper coil over mounts sense I'm going to use a strut type suspension, I went ahead and soldered it in place, I was getting tired of trying to align everything as I was mocking up other parts....
vintagedragfan Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 bent up some bars for the transmission cross member and mount and went ahead and soldered them in place all sod I all so got the cross member made and soldered in place I still need to make motor mounts and the trans. mount, thanks for looking!
Prostreet Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Looking good Bill, wish i could get motivated to work on mine.

vintagedragfan Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) I kept on working on it after my last little update, so I figured I would update it a little again, here is the cross member soldered in place, I will add some bolt detail to it later on Edited January 21, 2013 by vintagedragfan
vintagedragfan Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 I all so got the rear cross member completed with the drive shaft loop installed and ready to solder into place, as well as narrowed the frame rails down to except the floor pan, this needed to be done to keep the floor level with the rockers after soldering the rear cross member into its final place I will start on the rear frame rails, thanks for looking

Randy D Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Hi Bill, Good to see the progress on the frame my friend!!!! For a guy new to soldering it looks like your figuring it out just fine Randy
Platerpants Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 your killing me this car is far beyond a real cuda in awesomeness. if only it ran
Alyn Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 your killing me this car is far beyond a real cuda in awesomeness. if only it ran Yeh, Bill. You may want to consider running it across the Barrett/Jackson auction block when it's done. Let's see if we can get the first $1,000,000.00 model. Plus, that would provide you with the money to buy more tools. Looks like you're off to a great start on the frame. The center cross-member looks cool. Good engineering. Don't make the mistake I did and leave your peanut butter samich on the hot brass. It burns the bread and melts the peanut butter!
dimebolt Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Looking gret as always Bill. Have been super busy lately, but will be jumping back in full force here soon. Corey
Prostreet Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Awesome stuff Bill, your going to machine the rear for it to right? lol
Mooneyzs Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 hey Chris, thanks buddy, I hope it turns out beautiful thanks Brad, it has been challenging for sure! Bill I have no question that It will turn out Beautiful. I sure wish I could see your stuff in person.
tyrone Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 SERIOUSLY.... some fantastic work going on Bill...
