Alright Gentlemen, the time is come when I must begin this work and I want as many pics and as much advice I can get from you all! This includes the sheet metal work.

 

I want to prepare a 9" ford rearend with 4 bar and it's crossmember, rear frame rails, and full frame rails from the 4 bar cross member all the way up to the fromt including all those necessary crossmembers.

 

The engine will be a normally aspirated "Full Houe" BBC with TH400 trans.

the 9" rear with 1" axles, big bearings etc. The tires are MT29X18.50 wrinkle walls mounted on 15" x 14" wide rims.

 

The car is a rust free 1970 240Z. It is presently fully stripped and on jack stands. The structual strength of the work preformed must be able to withstand at least 600 HP at the rear wheels.

 

I have a smaller sheet metal saw ($75.00), acetylene torches and a MIG welder (which is on the way). I fear I am not yet equipped to do the work and need a "Sawsall" for the sheet metal cutouts. Please advise etc.

 

This is not a rush job. I expect the whole thing to take about 2-1/2 years, but getting started is very important to me so I can keep planning on ahead. You can E-maol me to your hearts delight. If the data is too large then split it up and send it that way. If it is still too large then I will pay for delivery of your CD's containing your personal experience pic's and advice.

 

Shall we begin?.....

Thanx RACERX;

 

Been there done that. What I am after is the details of actually doing the work like pics in process,what tools were used and what was done first and why and who did their rear end machine and weld work of shortening axles and housings. I have info even to that effect but I seek a person who has actually been through it all and has made record of it (hopefully).
