Thanks munruben,
Yesterday i waterjet cut out the glass for the headlights then mounted.This afternoon i started with the diff first cutting up the axles then forming up the centre caseing. Next i formed up the gearbox mount and welded in position. Next i cut and formed the oil pan then ill mount in position tomorrow.

Today i got the sump mounted in place, then secured the gearbox to mount. Then i had to play around and get the body in right position to line up the diff to the chassis, then i cut out the holes for the diff and the tunnel for the gearbox and 2 slots for the chassis. Next was two cut and fab the drag link arms and brackets for the diff and mount. So far only have the right side done, hopefully other side tomorrow.

It's coming together Scotty.

Thanks again crowie,
This afternoon i got back into the rear end to get finished off. Five hours later and the rears finished, theres still grinding and finishing to be done that will be done after all the fabing been taking care of. After i got that done i mounted the body again and realised ive got to cut out the gearbox mount and refab it to different position as its sitting to high for the the floor.

Thanks Alex And Artme,
Tonight i cut out the gearbox cross member rebent and welded back in new position. Next i cut out the body parts to get it to sit in right position. Once i had it sitting right i took some measurement of the wheelbase front and rear and now i can make the front wheels turn, they where going to be fixed but now turning.

Your attention to deal is inspiring Scotty.
Cheers, Crowie

Thanks again crowie,
I want to put this into hotrod shows and alike when finished. Im hoping it will pull people from looking at the cars on show and im pretty shore i can acheive that, so thats my main goal is to blow people away.
Tonight i got one of the rear wheels mounted to the diff, then the next few hours was spent looking :oo: , planning :rolleyes: and drinking :drink2: organising what to do and how to do the next steps. Hopefully i'll remember :doh: what i thought of the night before or i'll have to do it all again.

Today i cut up a couple lenghts of 50mm pipe and formed up 4 end caps and welded in position to form the fuel tanks. I will most probally cut some 3mm polished stainless on the water jet to make the mounting brakets for the tanks. I will also be making a nos bottle.

Very cleaver Scotty - Great job.
Cheers, Crowie
