That tank is too cool! I wonder if that gauge still works?

MAN! It took two days but I finally read this whole thread. What an awesome build! If it was my build I would cover the rack boots with some exhaust pipe cut in half lengthwise and welded to the cross member or just wrap leather around the boots. I'm sure what ever you come up with will look as good as the rest of the build.
Can't wait to see more.

Looks like I am going to get to work on the car this weekend. Not 100% sure what the next step should be.
I'm guessing that it should be to permanently mount the front crossmember and mount lower control arms. Once the arms are set, I should be able to plant my shackle hangers in the right spot.
That will probably tie up the whole weekend. If it doesn't, I will try and nail down the design for motor mounts and the path for the steering shaft....right now they look like they will be competing for the same space. I probably need to figure that out be fore I move to the upper control arm fab process.

**** happened and I did not make it to dad's house.
There was a wreck going the other direction. One of the cars crossed the centerline and I collided with them head on at 45 mph.
I don't have any broken bones or life threatening injuries, but I feel like I was thrown off of a 5 story building and landed in the grass.....I look ok, but everything hurts.
The little red car is screwed.

When I saw that pathfinder come into my lane I thought I was a goner. I thought I was in way too small of a car to take that kind of impact. I'm glad I was wrong.
What he said!
Glad u're alright Flipper & I too am shocked at how the lil red one came out... the front caved in like it was designed to. Advil gel-caps work fast & help with swelling & pain. And quit pickin' on SUVs like that. Eveyone knows I pick on soccer moms but I don't try to take them out!!!

Still crazy after all these years!
Sure glad you are ok.[cl That SUV looks as hurt as your little red car. I guess it's ok if you take the weekend off from building.
Mr.Gussett
Yep... he can do it!
WOW,
Thank the good Lord your OK!
I have been following your build pretty close and love your ingenuity on this thing.[dr Take a breather and count your blessings and then GET BACK TO WORK

That little car survived a lot better than I would have ever given it credit.
Glad you aren’t any worse off, hope you start feeling better soon.
