The project has left the garage....

[blazen91]

After 2+ yrs., it has finally moved on it's own power. I still need to build the rear axle, but every thing else is done. The only big bummer is that while pulling it out I found that the transmission is slipping like a well lubed hooker. /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif O-well, I am just happy it moved. /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif

Agreed!! What's the scoop? /forums/images/graemlins/ears.gif I love the front fenders! /forums/images/graemlins/bow.gif

Did you move the rear springs in? How far is the rear pushed back?

 

[blazen91]

TBI 454
th400/203/205
D60/D70 w/ Detroit and 5.86
39.5 Swampers
Body moved back 2" and up 1"
56" rear springs, turned around, inboarded under the frame w/ custom drop out shackles
Rear axle moved back to make 121" wheel base
Cross over/hydro assist
and I can't remember anything else, but feel free to ask.

Here are pics of the complete build up.

How did you move the body back? Just relocate the body mounts?

 

[blazen91]

When it was a bare frame, I cut off the mounts and mover them back. I didn't add the 1" lift till later when I found out I had to. As it is, the top of the doubler is less than 1/4" from the body. It is very tight up under there.
