Re: For your viewing pleasure
Guys before we go any further I need to answer some questions that you guys have asked.
Captain, Fab Yes I do have a Pro Tools 105. I have a die for 1" square tubing I plan on using real soon on this Chassis. SBTORK, I plan on using the stock bench seat. I do have a set of 65 Mustang buckets just in case. After all that tranny tunnel might be to tall. Someone I foregot the name asked me about the tranny. Yes the tranny is a Turbo 350, the reasons I'm running it are simple it's smaller, and it takes 15 less horsepower to run. This truck is going to be a driver so I need it to be simple and easy. Now its time for the shifter knob Slmd92DIME.   I really like the Brain.

Re: For your viewing pleasure
I think you are going to need a rag top, I don't think a sunroof would get you out of neutral. I forsee some body progress coming fast the truck is gravitating to the frame...

Re: For your viewing pleasure
Shifty, thats you?
I'd imagined you, smaller.68 short step-My great-grandmother's (still rockin' at 89) first name is Texas actually. Confused the hell out of me when I was real little, and got a telephone call asking to speak to Texas.

Re: For your viewing pleasure
Lou,
Glad to see you aboard here.. When I came in this thread I was thinking someone might be choping down the bulky center section on the front crossmember. Something I am thinking about doing for my 63 drag truck. I figure that center section has got to weigh 100lbs more than a 2x4 .120" piece with some 1/4" plate and bracing to mount the lower control arms. Any reason your keeping that front piece and not putting a different one in? Next question I had for you was the severe angle on the shocks. 10* won't really skew the spring rat or shock dapening, but from what I understand, once you get past 10* it starts changing the rates very quickly. 30* is a pretty steep angle. Herb Adams goes in to it pretty well in his book Chasis engineering. I'll try to find it as I think he does testing at different angles and shows you the changes. Another question would be in regards to the rear. Any reason you went with a 4-bar over a 3-link or a truck arm rear set up (60-72)? They tend not to bind as much as a 4-bar or 4-link. I hope you don't mind me sharing a few pics of my Camaro with you. This is my 3-link set up.
