Michael Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 The metalwork looks clean and solid! But since you asked us to "be honest"... one thing that's worth considering is welding a 1/8" plate over the stock frame rails underneath your motor mounts. The mounts themselves are plenty strong, but without reinforcement to the frame rails, the bolts passing vertically through the frame rails might work themselves back-and-forth, eventually tearing the sheet metal.

peej410 Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 normally youd be correct, however those framerails are 2x3 1/8th inch tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bamm Bamm Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 It looks great. But I'd ditch that Edelbrock Carb in favor of a Holley(this is from alot fo experience with them). The car looks sweet can't wait to see some time slips.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innerware Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Good job PJ. Looks like you picked up welding pretty good. Is that a proportioning valve next to the stick shift for your brakes? How was it doing the 4x4 brake kit? Anything you would suggest, hints tips things you did wrong so I can learn from your mistakes? I have never pulled hubs before, anything to it? Special tools etc? Anyway looks great now. Can't wait to move back east just so I can see it. Good luck, Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cbrunberg Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Hey I just went to your website. You've been busy! The work you did on the floor pan looks really good. Did you go over the top of your old pan or did you cut and replace or a combo of both? Is that a purchased pan or did you fab it your self? If you have a moment could you e-mail me a parts list of that front brake set up it looks nice. Keep up the good work. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, Kyle[/quote'] thanks for the compliments. yes that is a prop valve. as far as the 4x4 upgrade go to http://www.modern-motorsports.com i believe thats the url for ross c's website. he is the most knowledgable i got the kit from him and it was plug and play. removal of the hubs is really easy. replace the wheel bearings while your at it make sure to pack em with grease really well and get a torque wrench. make sure to wire brush the inside of your hubs where the spacer slides on otherwise it will be very tight if they are corroded.
