Im new here so ill tell you a little about what im doing. This build started about 6 weeks ago because i have been in a wheelchair for almost 5 months and couldnt take sitting around anymore! So i had this 34 cab just sitting around that needed alot of work but hey i have the time now. so i had a friend of mine and my dad help me to the garage where we set the cab, engine, rear end and front axle on the shop floor. I had no idea what i was doing so i laid on a creeper and drew the frame out on the floor with soap stone. Did some math and started cutting and welding. If you want to test your skills try building in a wheel chair! I set that chair on fire so many time with the welder. lol I have been racing for years and had to give it up so i figured the next best thing would be to build my own version of a race car! This is my very first build and i really have no idea what im doing. To top it off im cheap and build everything so i dont have to buy it or go to a show and see it on some elses car. I came along way in 6 weeks i think so here is what i did. The frame starts off 2x4 and is z'ed to 2x3 under the cab so i could keep as much room as possible then it kicks back to 2x4. the front is a 4" drop axle i built with ends from my dirt modifed, The cab is a 34 that was an old hot rod that a guy cut 6" off the bottom all the way around and screwed it to a sheet of plywood! lol i guess thats all he had to work with, 9 years later i dragged it out of the woods behind his house and put 6" back into it. The rear is 4 linked with a winters quick change. wide five hubs and wilwood breaks. I know its not Traditional but its all i have. I have a 358ci out of my dirt car but i think its to much to be on the street so im going to use a 327 for now. Im hoping to get this done for summer but i have a few surgerys in the next month so things are going to come to a stop here soon. with any luck i'll be back at it soon after:confused Any input would be great guys. If im doing somthing that not going to work you can tell not to be stupid and do it some other way! Thanks
