Well, I decided my course of action. First, I am gonna do subframes. In reading the DIY article on subframes at M&F Magazine, the first step is to ensure that you have a solid frame to start with... Hmmm... I think I might be okay.. what do you think?



Here is my "proper foot ventilation," which is very important in a well-handling car



Here I have allowed the ages to lighten the frame (Cloney said I needed to drop some weight... here we go).

 

D'oh!

Looks like you've got some work to do man. Hate to see all that motor and supercharger twist that bad boy in half.

 

"SOLID" is definitely the operative word here.

 

Your first step in a new suspension is definitely a floor

I'm almost done bolting in my Comp Eng subframes. I'll snap a pic or two tonight whilst (LOVE that word, the English have, well, the best English) I am snapping the Hurst shifter for Clonester. I've read Dave Stribling's article on DIY subs and it looks fine, I just don't have the welder or inclination for that.

I'm rubbing my prayer beads later, hoping I can con Art into welding the SFCs in later

Yeah, I knew there was a problem, just didnt know to what extent...

I already have most of the frame done (or at least the hard part) and the torque box is sitting in the shop. I MIGHT have it done tonight...

 

Uhhh, CV? Did you know there's a hole in your floor?

 

I knew of the hole in the floor and the rotten torque box, but I wasnt aware that 18" of frame had more holes than hooker convention.
