    Rear body mount and rear shock mounts (top part is the piece I cut off from the bone)

    Made a battery box...it'll go right in front of the rear axle.
    Can't decide if I should weld it to the frame or the sub-frame?

    Thanks Guys!!

    Lights:
    They'll still stick out a couple of inches...
    Don't wanna poke some kids eyes out when I'm backing up?

    Hood:
    Anders, You're right...With Lots of Louvers in it!
    (LAst Night I pulled the car outside again to get a good look at it)
    The Radiator / Grill surround came up about an inch and a half from before.
    The Hood Line / flow looks good!
    Later, I wanna drill holes and put Louvers wherever I can.

    I would think of to use Slot mags or American racing in back and
    the 19:s in front for oldstyle dragracer look.

    Hi Anders

    Some Good Ideas Man!...

    There's a lot of ideas spinning around in MY head right now...
    At the moment...?
    I'm contemplating byuing Wire wheels from Rally America...(Awesome Company / Wheels!)
    ...Yeah it would be more fun to widen a pair of 16's in back and use 1932 18's in the front...
    But then i would also like to weld in new centers with 5 x 4 1/2 bolt pattern so I don't have to use the spacers...
    This would probably take me a month to do...being realistic...have to make some tools...
    (NOTE: really nice spacers though!)
    Sand blast the ones on the blue ones on the Sedan at home was a PITA.
    Rally America = Right width, right bolt pattern, TRUE & ready for paint...

    We'll See?....I just wanna drive this thing...

    Tacked on the reinforcements.
    20150924_211839 (Medium).jpg
    Shocks......Maybe I'll have the shaft stick through the front rail...? Shocks in front of grill.
    20150924_211746 (Medium).jpg It looks OK but it clutters up the front end...
    20150924_211656 (Medium).jpg
    Any suggestions?
    I just don't like shocks...

    Move them above the tie rod and point them forward? Too large to be on the horns

    Thanks BCT

    I Tried that....it was ugly...three
    My goal was to clean up the front, and shocks just look like a big lump...

    I'll keep trying...maybe friction shocks...Do they actually work?
