my car looked alot like yours. heres my soulution to the problem http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=12633&cat=500&ppuser=12917

heres a pic of mine the only thing i would change is the way it locks. im using a pin that goes through the hub assembly . and i uesd a jam bolt for a whial that worked relly well but chewed the inner tube to much. another idea i had was use a hand crank that used a mega gear reduction so spin the thing. much like a hand winch. you could use a ratchet to lock it out to. http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=12633&cat=500&ppuser=12917

when i was building mine the i was more worried about hitting the low hanging beams in my shop. and i built the hight of the rottrisris so it teloscopes so when setting it up with the car on jacks i just move the rotisrie around the car and set. the height like that. i put large castors on the bottom and it made the unit relly nice.

im planing a 6 pt. cage build similar to what i being talked about here. im want im put on what diameter and wall thickness tubeing to go with any sugestions thanks for the help jon...

Im starting the process of building the front control arm s for my 76. They will end up looking a lot like the Arizona z arms and I was wondering what type of steel all you think would be best. I was thinking chromemoly would be neat. My memory isn’t that great but I think that’s sae 4130 and 4140. and any of you who know anything about heat treatment tell me what you think the best treatment for a given steel in this application would be. Thanks Jon…

another important thing is to not hold the bleader open for to long when bleading you have to focus on not letting more fulid out than it can take in or else you will get air in the system. two person bleading i find works most of the time becasue it actually in volves the piston in the master moving like it would. however it sounds to me like you have a problem with you master leaking. check it by ways others have described. hope i have helped jon...

I am working on restoring my 76 280 in to a racecar probably to be used in solo events and other track events. I’m just finishing the tare down process Last weekend I finished building my rotisserie and got the car up with the help of my dad. now that I am able to get at the bottom of the easy taking off the sub frames was easy about 20 min with rattle guns and two people ripping and tarring. Next step is to attack the rust the frame rails on the car are not grate and I’m replacing them. My design so far is to keep the bottom of the rocker panels the lowest point of the body. The stock floor and frame rail/sub frame connector hang down quite a bit I want to put a 1X2 square tube inside the rocker (reasons for that are 1 quick jacking and hoist points and 2 strength) I want the frame rail connectors (made of 2 ¼ X 2 ¼ 3/16 wall square tubing) to share the low point of the rocker panels (reasons for this is 1 can put the car down lower 2 maybe a smother bottom of the car would encourage air to escape with less resistance) now my question is if I mount my floor on top of my new relocated frame rail should there be any real problems other than modifying the pedals. I also need to replace the frame rails in the engine bay with 2-¼ X 2-¼ 3/16 wall square tubing. this would involve removing and reinstalling the bracket for the thrust arm. is there any tips on how to do this other than measuring from every direction. Sorry no pics. But if you were able to follow all that I would much appreciate hints tips criticism. if any one has pic. of home build frame connectors I would much appreciate seeing them. pretty much I am confident I’m my self and my buddy Dave (who I am building this car with) to proceed with the design proposed and get all measurements correct. I just don’t want to hear when its all said and done “you should have done it this way†“ you could have done it more like this†pretty much before I go and cut my car to bits I would like some input. for beater ideas. jon…
