Looks good. I really like the NEHR T buckets and I think you are going to one up them with the RPM stretched body.

A hot rod is born!! Looks great.

Thanks you guys, I don't know about one upping them but that's the look I'm going for. Kind of a crossover.

Looks good and will be a lot more economical to build a better rod than the nehr crap. I can't believe the price people pay for their product.

I like the z cut in the frame. I intend to build one more tbucket and that is the way I will go.

IMO NEHR builds for people who don't want to do the work or can't because of ability or lack of skills. Take your pick. I chose the drop to be not as severe as nehr, just the depth of a rail. I think in the end it'll work out and hopefully look good with a" little" help from our friends in the forums.

NEHR cars are O.K. but I just like the nostalgia buckets. I rode in one of their cars. It handles great. Good road car.

Mike J - What is the stud for, on the front of the frame? (fram.jpg)

 

[Mike J]

It's what I'm using as a locator pin for all my measurements, frame square, mounts, body, etc.

Update, locating rear end after getting lowered brackets from RPM.

Update, to hot down here to do a lot of work. Locating front axle. collecting parts to hit it more in oct. when it starts cooling into the mid 80's.

Looking good mike. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, here are a couple more from today. We should get together for burgers or something.

NOOOO! That bent front radius rod is BAD. Should be a straight shot even if you have to weld the bracket on at an angle. Good Luck
