A few more pics

Anyone have any thoughts on rally wheels with police cap versus the aluminum wheels I posted ?

Progress. Rear tires for rolling around shop are 225/70R15 on Chevy rally wheels while front has old 205/75R14 from S10. Some of the pics show front right with 15x5 GM rally with 185/80R15 from my stock 63 Volvo 544. The aluminum wheel that I may use is Vision 148, maybe a little too glitzy for...

I have 2" drop spindles, the tire size I plan to use sets the low point of my frame a little less than 5", so my center of gravity is lower than an everyday car. Since I have coilovers I make crank it a little lower.

I know plenty of you have experience with a Mustang II front suspension and would like your opinion. I have installed maybe 5 or 6 in the 1990's, but I don't remember ever having a front sway bar. Seems like on those cars, maybe because they were stiffly sprung, they didn't seem to need a front...

Working on tilt front end (it will only be hood and grill). Underlying grill structure. Made some adjustable hinges, Raised front suspension full up to measure for c-notches Burned a rack and pinion rubber boot from welding (hint- cardboard is not a good weld shield) :mad:

Too hilly where I live to not have parking/ emergency brake. I used the S10 front and rear cables with the 444 dash pull handle. Sounds ridiculous, but it took me three days to get it all figured out, adapted and fabricated. :eek:

Making good progress Floors, S10 Blazer gas tank, parking brake linkage to stock underdash chrome pull handle. Had to do a good bit of heat' quench to tighten up the oil can in the floors.

Wheel tubs almost done

Cutout rusty rear inner fenders to make smooth wheel tubs. Lots going on back there. The way I built the frame the 4 bar links and E-brake cables are a tittle closer than I wanted. The narrow S10 rear end will require reversed rims to fit right and look good. Wheel Vintique 15x7 Rally wheels...

That's great ! [cl

The existing firewall had large structural braces down to the unibody frame horns that were in the way and no longer needed. I used my plasma cutter to trim the passenger side but the cutting was difficult without damaging the flat metal underneath the brace. The battery box was in the center...

I luv that look [cl I spent a lot of time at the Fairgrounds Speedway in Birmingham, AL. Whe I was 12-15 yrs old. It was a 1/2 mile dirt track then. Local drivers were Bobby and Donnie Allison, Red Farmer (Ford powered), Neil Bonnett and more.

More progress Bare metal Summit black epoxy primer Summit urethane primer

Making progress Using the Volvo but going to build grill shell and grill from scratch

Beginning of frame build with some temporary braces of EMT conduit

I had to shorten my 4 bar links and found uniform wall thickness, clean inside. I slightly enlarged the inside diameter to fit the 3/4" tap. I oiled liberally while tapping 2 1/2" deep for the threaded ends, took about 30 minutes each to go 2 1/2". Nice welds on crossmember (picture...

I bought a front steer Helix Cornerkiller suspension kit and a 4 bar parallel link rear suspension in September 2019. I ordered from Tom and discussed at length the parts included in the package I bought, as a result I got what I expected. I also talked to tech Jimmy before ordering to make sure...

Do you or any of the members have any actual experience good or bad with the Helix/ Johnny Law/ Hoffman Group ?

Sorting thru my new suspension parts to make sure everything is there.
