Front end going together, Custom front shock and spring put in place. This is a kit from R&B Motion with a lot of changes to it so it was screwed in at the bottom of the strut and will have a cap over that section.

Chas SCR Posted November 13, 2012 Author Posted November 13, 2012 This is the boss plate that the hinges will be bolted to under the fender. You can see the boss has one bolt already in place and in the other side it will be bolted with the hydrolic rod hook up at. Here is the hood with the hinge plate bolted in. There will be another one on the full hinge arms that will be on the body. I'm doing this as to show the detail is not left off the hood as the hood will not be on the body for show.

I have to wait to put this in first before bolting on the plate as it has to go up from under the fender. Now i'm putting in the little detail bolts to hold the fender to the inner fender. They will be painted black after I get them all in. This is just the little detail that you will see in person more then in a photo.

Chas SCR Posted November 18, 2012 Author Posted November 18, 2012 Fitting the chassis with the spindles and rims all the way around tonight. Not to happy as the front end is sitting a little lower then what I like, I may end up doing a new sets of them.
Chas SCR Posted November 22, 2012 Author Posted November 22, 2012 Here is the axle spacer for the rear end and hold the caliper and rim. This will be painted black to blend in with the axle housing.

The steering is all in place and the front end is now done and so is the chassis work other then clean up and polishing to be done. Ground clearnce you can see now the front end is not sitting on the ground and even though it's a little higher then I wanted it will work so nothing is dragging the ground. Showing the front end all done and the rack and pin steering connected to the spindles. This was a very long job trying to get every thing to line up and not fall apart to bolt in the right spots.
