Steering damper tucked behind axle almost (almost) unseen from front. SSD58 damper with end cut off at bend and a female rod end welded to end. Bracket on drag link is held on with clamps to allow for toe changes. Center the steering and damper then weld. So simple a Cave Man can do it!
So simple a Cave Man can do it! So, its starting to grow on you. You should visit the photo shop thread for some help on paint.
It' coming along good. Little details, finish weld here and there. Paint little parts to make big parts. Trying to get brake lines and wiring in before putting the floor over it. Need to get a block and transmission back in to know how big to make the transmission cover. The bad weather here makes any outside body work impossible, so I just do the little things. I'll have some more pics this week.
Front suspension is installed as well as the master cylinder, line lock, brake lines and wiring to battery and tail lights.
Thanks, we're doing the best we can. Hope to have the heads back from machine shop next week. Get all the piston/valve clearances checked and get engine/transmission in.
Finally getting started on the interior sheet metal. What's there will stay while the driveshaft tunnel, transmission cover, center front floorboards and trunk floor will be removable.
You gotta slow down Robert, you work way to fast! Haha. We stopped by S&G Friday and talked to them. They can't believe you got gasser fever too!
Quain, I'm betting on it too. I'd really like to get the car to you before then to have you go over it. Still a ways off though.
Yeah, they are getting some good entertainment out of this. As soon as Don gets my heads ready, I'll have to stop, finish them, put them on the engine and install. When the weather decides what it wants to do, I have a ton of body work to do.
I would like to find time to come and see you. We are doing some video of SEG builds to kick the season off. We are thinking it would be something different for the fans. It might be to where we could come up and video your's and then go video Zak's if y'all live close together. My big problem right now is time because I missing so much time from work trying to keep this deal going.
