piston Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 i actually made another with .120 steel 1 3/4 tubing and larger plates covering frame rails over and under all the way to the edges. looks like the betamotorsports one with beefier tube, larger plates and thicker metal. i already welded in the car. will take pics when i get new batteries for the camera. i looks at my old one and i gotta admit, it looks crappy ass hell. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piston Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 ok, heres my new mount alreadyin te car and some on the engine with stand. this one should be be pretty strong and tough. welds penetrated through and made thicker welds using zig zag pattern. 1/8 inch plates and mount support tubing is 2.50 round and thickness like the one beta uses. i think it was 0.0600. the 1 3/4 tubing is mandrel bent by jay at jayshotrod here in sacramento. hybrid z member is i think GT240.

piston Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 i cant wait to get it done either, but school starts for me soon so it will be a very very slow progress when march hits. i had plan to get her running by 2011 but work and school now gives me only weekends to work on it so maybe 2012? arghhh... however i got alot done on the suspension and brakes since the last pic.
