James2 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Started a Club Build this weekend. Working on the chassis and stance at this point. Re-worked the front suspension to lower it, cut out the rear for some PPP Modified tires and got the rear axle cut down, pinned and glued back together. Gonna have to re-locate the spring mounts and work on a coil set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubbs Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) hey James, i pulled mine out also. never saw a build by you that you narrowed the rear. looks great so far. i have been tossing 2 extremes back and fourth, a 6 cylinder plain jane, or a full tube chassis outlaw street car. look forward to your build. i am glad the club is doing this build. see you next month. you must be starting with the Sox and Martin car. the 2in1 cuda already had a dropped front spindle piece in it along with some custom pieces.

James2 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Thanks Al. It is the Revell Special Edition kit, I wanted the front even lower. Just needed a little gentle bending and some CA glue to help stay. We should bring our builds to the meetings just to see how we're doing!

You're going to have to slow down a little! LOL Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James2 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks Tim. That's the plan Al, remove what's left of the rear frame and clean things up. Ya gotta stop some where though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 looks great so far dude. I have a 74 Cuda (I think it's a 74???) that I built years ago and have lost the chassis somehow. I love this body shape though and will try building a chassis to fit and do a pro street finish on it. Gonna keep an eye on this build. Keep it up.
