I always love pictures of a nice rack.
This was not my first choice but I do like it!

We stayed late last night to do a few things to the car. Customer work has been consuming alot of our time.

Can you show us some closeup pics of how you did the splice-in repair of the frame rails? Thanks.

Yea, Ill get some pics today. Basically you have to sleeve the two rails together. You get a machined peice of chromoly and slide it into the old frame rail, and you put 4 rosette (plug) welds within 3" of the splice. Then you do the same on the other side and weld the center of the joint together.

Randy and myself stayed last night to get the main strut bars finished and start the moc up for the engine placement. Here are a few shots.

Things are coming along nicely in the rebuild.

Things seem to be going much smoother now that we dont have the same slackass fabricator we had when we originally built this car.

Damn Jay!!!!!!

I never said the guy wasnt any good, I just said he work ethic left a little to be desired. We're getting our fab work done much quicker now than we did when he worked here.

More progress

We're going to move the dry sump tank up beside the fuel cell this time around. Should make things quite a bit less cluttered under the hood.

 

[Alky V6]

That'll put some needed weight in the front too. Pro Mod style.

 

[gbodygmachine]

Engine and Trans Mock-up!

 

[Alky V6]

Oh oh! You'll definitely be needing that weight.

 

[charlief1]

Wow Guys!!!

I should've subscribed when this thread started. I didn't realize what you guys were up until now. Looking really good. I'm watching from now on.

the bb is just for mock up. the motor plate mounts double as the turbo mounts. We are also going to raise the crankshaft centerline to help with the weight transfer. We will have the v6 in by the weekend.
