I ended up relocating my lower bars to get them closer to the wheels and made a bracket to help strengthen the mounting point. They are now at the...

I'll PM you
Here's an example
Keep in mind that your 40 ford frame has the X crossmember. When welding on the top links to the frame you need to keep in mind that if welding...
I have an old 25" Edmunds head. Swiss cheese like more than likely. Any value or fixable in that bad of condition?
Any updates on this project? Im curious to know where on the body you ended up mounting the top link brackets. If you boxed the frame before...

Nice! was the tail shaft exchanged for the forward mounted shifter? I was under the impression that only the older ones were forward mounted....
Meant to say on the earlier S10's with the forward shifter location
.. also the earlier year T5's used the mechanical speedo. So its easier to adapt to an older car. I picked up a 1985 NWC T5 that I'm planning...

Thats what I was thinking of doing initially and once I thought of where to mount the seats I decided to go with 16g. Im curious how are you...
I plan on bending the braces for added rigidity. Doing so because that's also where my bench seat will be bolted to. I made my own 48 inch...
I have it Spitfire head for the 25" Chrysler engine. Should make it look faster.
Yes, I have the tools to do the cutting, forming, braking and bead rolling. Ive been watching plenty of videos and have a solid idea on how to...
Bringing this thread back up. Im channeling my 1940 Desoto and redoing the entire floorboard with 18 guage. What thickness should for the...
