worked on this one some more today, got some carbs thrown on the intake, spindles, hubs and wheels. got one side of the wishbones mounted through the frame, there will be a removable recessed cover to access the tie rod nut and cotter pin.

Just like everyone else said, the fab work looks great. What kind of tie rod ends are you using? Can you show a picture of how you have the front spring mounted to the radius arms?

yeah she will be low low, about a 5.5 in ride height. thanks for all the compliments,i guess not to not bad for a 24 year old lol, and here is a pic of how the spring is attached to the bones, still need to machine some spacers and other things but good enough for mock up

 

[cornfield customs]

Cornfield, in the first picture, how did you cut that wedge shaped piece out of the frame tubing. I have to do the same thing for the rpu I am going to put together, and have wrestled with a sawzall, cutoff wheel, bandsaw, plasma cutter, etc. Not sure yet, and it looks like you got a nice clean cut.
