Stormer's 73 Imperial Build

I didn't ask what that frame goes under. That's just an example of the front end.

You guys are so funny with yer "I don't think that's gonna hold it". :laughing7:
 
So...........what has he actually done so far on your build?
Nothing yet, he can't get to me till August but he'll fab up the frame rails & front end if I can do it myself (not happening) or find someone else to install it sooner.

The first step of figuring out what I need is done & took a lot longer than expected. I should have just taken the car to this guy in the first place but that's not how it worked out.

By the way, he suggests sticking round tube inside the old frame & into the new to tie it together & strengthen the whole deal. It'll hold it.

Well, I paid a visit to the chassis shop today. I attached some photos of what the front end setup will look like (with no bags in it).

BAD NEWS: The frame rails need to be narrowed so my suspension budget just doubled.


Holy crap dude are you serious?!?! That is insane! Cant wait to see the finished product!

I'm sure you didn't read the whole thread but here's what she'll look like when finished. I bet you'll like it. That will make a grand total of 2 members here who like it. ;)No Air Hose.jpg

Do you still think 2 years for the project to be completed?

I'd like to go faster because I want to drive the car but I've learned that haste truly does make waste (thank god by 41) so I won't put a deadline & I will focus less on this build if I'm racing every weekend this summer. Not to mention that racing takes cash & my wife wants a bigger house.

I'm real bummed that the frame needs to be narrowed. It really takes the build out of my hands since it's a long way from bolt on stuff. Pretty discouraging...
 
I hope you're not pissin all your money away as fast as you're making it.
