Starting New Project 73


Recommended Posts

Welded a frame in place and set the tank in there i still need to drill the mounting wholes and weld up the rest of the floor. I'm away on a work trip but will be back soon i hope to get everything together before it starts to turn cold.

Oh also got my driver half shaft in but its nearly compressed at full droop. I swapped out the r180 for the 200 and used the half shafts that came with the 200 I checked them against the 180s and they appeared to be the same length can some one help me with this conundrum!

I'll have to find different way to mount my tag but the idea is to keep it look as close to original in the rear as possible.

I believe most of the fab work is done i just need to finish welding it solid. I was dreading doing it but once i got started it didn't take long it usually never does just trying to find the courage haha.

Powder coated halfshafts good idea, powder coated flanges not so good.

My son did the same thing with his '73 240Z.  Used a 17 gallon fuel cell that centered where the spare tire well used to be to allow the dual exhausts for his LS1.  He went to a salvage yard and got a license plate holder off an older car that had the gas cap behind the plate.  That was done a lot in the 60's and some in the 70's.
