Engine and Transmission are in the Frame

Engine an transmission went together nicely and when fitted to the frame the independent front suspension sat down just right.

Mark got started on fabricating a mount for the clutch slave cyclinder. You can just barely see it in this pick.

It's been a while!

I didn't realize my last post was in June. Well nothing much has been going on except in the last couple of weeks anyway.
So here are some new pics.

Frame painted with suspension parts going back on.

Some New Stuff

Hand fabricated windshield post

New tires and wheels

Rocket Racing Igniter Series 15" with Yokohamas

Headlight - Tail Light Brackets

When Mark says he knows what he can do to mount these 39 Ford Tail Lights.

Trust him. These turned out perfect!

Again Mark fabicated brackets for the headlights and they are perfect!

Nice job Mark.

New Frame Treatment

Here is the end of the frame rails tapered up

Here is a mockup of the dash and guages I am considering using.

I'm not able to use the Porsche rims that I have so

I probably will just use steel wheels to begin with.

 Here is the steering column, transmission  and pedal cluster mock up only.

These are some windshield stanchions that Mark had.

 They are going to work perfect with some fabrication.

Aluminum Racing Seats

As you can tell these are just my mockups but I think they will work.

 I actually created a pattern drawing if anyone wanted to create there own.
