I got delayed on mine due to my fathers foxbody developing a cowl leak, his daily driver so I had to get it repaired.....Today I was back on my mess, I cut the frame off in front of the k-member because I need to create a little more room up front..... I cleaned the ends of the rails up and capped them, then I made a front lower hoop of sorts..... I got that tacked in place before I leaft today.....

You're the true definition of a hot rod/drag car is never ever "done" as always outstanding craftsman ship in everything you do. As cool as turbo cars are, nothing beats the sound of a nasty naturally aspirated engine.

 

Thanks, I have definitely missed having something that sounds really good.....

 

I didn't feel like working on it this morning, seems to be the theme anymore..... I did get a little more done last weekend..... Welded to lower frame in..... I cut out the rest of the front aprons and core support, I did leave a little material on the front of the towers to trim exactly how I want later.....

A little more progress made today..... I bent up a to tube for the top of the core support resembling the shape of the stock support..... I also made some end brackets that bolt to the fenders and cap the end of the tube.....

More progress made on the core support this morning, not a lot but something.....

I really like your core support, very nice!

 

Thanks.....

 

Got a little more done this morning..... Fitted and tacked a couple tubes in place along the lip where the fender bolts to the body, also bolted the lower valence in place..... I fit the front hood support/dzus brackets and got it tacked in place.....

Been getting some done the last couple weekends..... The center support for the hood bracket, lower valence, stone guard and grille is made and in..... I also made some filler panels for the stone guard and tacked them in where I clearanced it for the air filter previousely….. Then I made core support tabs and tacked them in for the grill support rods, and shortened the rods so they fit properly in the new core support configuration..... I still need to make the last 2 grill support tabs for the center of the grill(a seen in the last pic)…..

Here it is so far.....

Still enjoy your build here.
Even if it is N/A.------------->

 

I have been waiting to see if I get the boot or not!!!!!and thanks.....

 

All the tabs needed to attach front end components have been made and either welded or tacked in place right now..... I took the car down off the blocks and moved it out pf the way so I could get the mess cleaned up..... Next thing will be to remove everything off the front of the car so I can weld it all up and I still need to mount the radiator and trans cooler.....

Took all the front sheet metal off it and worked on getting all the welds finished up on everything that was tacked on so far.....

Finished cleaning everything up..... Made and welded in some upper flange filler panels where the fenders bolt down..... Made frame inserts for the lower radiator mounts, also made a bar to bolt between the for proper alignment.....
