Jaysun has placed the front clip on jack stands before drilling holes to bolt fenders on.

Jaysun is welding the rear shocks mounts in place.

Shocks in place and tires look Cool!

Because Tom wanted a 5 speed we are having to do a little thinking on how to set it up.

We sat the Big Al big block in the car along with the Hilborn injection system.  Wait until you see the stacks.

Back wheels and tires off to install the panhard bar.

Because the chassis kicks up so high we had to extend the panhard bar bracket for better alignment and boxed it for strength.

Pete & Jakes ladder bars the only way to go!

Most straight axle cars in the 60's mounted their steering box on the frame rail and left it sitting high, this caused the drag link to sit at an unusually steep angle. 

You can see in this picture how we dropped this steering box down to keep the drag link in the correct geometry.
