Looking good ANAMEL looks like you've got it set-up for figure 8 with the camber. Might want to put some rub bars on it.

SWEET! man that looks great! How did the floor come out? I have 3 more pieces to make and put in and mine is done.

Its getting there. Working on the foot box for both sides then going to work on pedals. Dont know if I hate to love it or love to hate it. will check for updates on your build. Thanks for the compliments

Yeh I know havent put the CC gauge on it yet. May have to go with a longer upper to get the right angle. Got and ideal on some bars for it but thats a few hours down the road. Thanks man

Doing it right and being being happy with the results is better in the end.

Ok I know its been some time since my last post but the floor pan id DONE!!! What a job. Made a removeable top for the tranny hump to make adjustments if need. Other half came in and took a photo for me to post for you guys. Doesnt look like much but man what allot of work. Going to work on placing pedals tonight and when that is tacked in i am going to remove the cab and finish up welding frame. Got some coilovers for my b-day for front end from summitt. Will post pics of pedals when i get em in.

Got the pedals moked up and gonna have more than enough room. Clutch and brake top mount. Had to remove dash and that was a job never doing it before. For those of you doint it for the first time take screws out along lower windshield frame and at the bottom of the dash at the a post and its out. DO NOT JUST START USING CUTOFF WHEEL. LOL got a lil welding to do now. Taked go pedal in place and might have to modify e-throttle stop a lil. will show pics later. Here are some photos of the interior so far and some outside shots.

 

[ANNAMEL]

What a nice day today. It was just one of those feel good days. Been moving along on the ol 41. Got the gauges and dash mocked up today. I am thinking of putting some curves in the lower section of dash. Tell me what ya think. I will probally black out writing on gauge plates . Has to much color. Not sure what to do with glove box. Thought about putting MSD box in it unless something else comes up.

 

[Gastrick]

Nifty lookin cockpit ANNAMEL. Like you said, some curves would be a nice touch. Really cool though.

 

[BigShem]

[ANNAMEL]

Been busy with work the past few weeks but got a day in and got the rad and oil cooler and remote oil filters mounted today. Yep I said 2 oil filters. Ran them on the oval track and had to use them. Went to Mr Georges today and found a pinto and after 2 hrs of digging and cutting got it out. Going to get it cleaned and check it out. Feels tight though. Found some round headlights on an old White truck today i am going to put on the front. Will post some more pics when I get the steering rack mounted

 

[FlatBroke]

DUDE,
That thing looks tough as a 2 cent steak...


Looks like a steam roller just as well.
