Thanks DV, I know it isn't as pretty as most models on here especially the 34 Ford which is stunning. I didn't want a shelf queen though, I wanted something to bash. I also wanted something that had some ability to evolve, for want of a better word, as I find ways of making it better, lighter or heavier if need be, stronger or faster. I have an idea swimming about in my head for a reverse involving a 24v drill motor, a servo and the push to make switch from the drill. the idea is still in it's infancy but i plan on putting something together once the car is built because I feel that I'm too far in the build to make any drastic changes to the design.
I have some more progress with the car however, the exhaust is reassembled and mounted
I used exhaust assembly paste to create a seal at each joint. I made my own clamps and although they're not pretty they do do the job very well.
As you can see I had to make a cut out in the floor pan because the exhaust angle causes the expansion chamber to dip below floor pan level. I'll tidy up the cut out in time but it'll be fine for now.
This is where the rear springs are going
And this is where the gas struts will be placed
That's it for now, I'll be working on it today so I hope I have something more to show you
