    I'm with the guys who are concerned about titling the car you eventually build. I hope you have that covered, but if you don't it should be the first thing you should take care of.

    I have the title part squared away already. One of the first things I did when I obtained my body panels and started going down this road. Told myself I wouldn't spend any more money until that was done.

    Looks a lot like the one I built. I also used Heidt's triangulated 4 link. I looked at a lot of frames before deciding I could build my own. If you are getting the front and rear axle in the deal, I don't think you can go wrong at $4500. It would be hard to amass the parts and weld up a frame for that amount.

    Looking at the first picture, is that a hard brake line going to the brake tee on the back of the differential? It also looks to be bigger in diameter than the other brake lines. It could very well be my eyes deceiving me, I don’t understand if there is a flexible joint I am missing.

    Not trying to be critical of the frame, looks great from what I see. Good luck.

    That's a braided stainless line.

    Well, I made the deal. Also included in the deal was a 200r4 trans, guide lights and some misc A parts. Getting it to my garage later this week. Then the fun begins....

    Thanks all for the help!
