vintagedragfan Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share 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 21, 2013 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagedragfan Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platerpants Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 your killing me this car is far beyond a real cuda in awesomeness. if only it ran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyn Posted January 22, 2013 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
