rustrocket

me too.

thanx for the support guys......wish i had more done but have been dealin with fires on about 4 fronts. as soon as i get the time i am going to go ball to the wall on the car.

well, been working alot and trying to work on the car at the same time and trying to keep up with friends. i guess something had to give. the wife and i are going separate ways. puts a damper on alot of things.........this project is not one of them. i will have to move and go to a lawyer to get things cleared up. the car is still a viable project and will be finnished. the timeline has been push a little but the car WILL be finnished. for those thinking that i am a heartless fool, this break up has been a long time coming and i welcome the freedom as does the future ex. mrs. montgomery. thanx for the support on the project and hope to be posting again soon.

i like what you have done with the fire wall. i was going to go that way but didn't want ot have to drop the engine to change the spark plugs. i think that position should make the car handle awsome and the batwing oil pan fit so nice. when you said you were taking the rear end out i was scared you were going with a strait axle at first. glad to see you are staying with the irs. great work so far. have fun and i will try to keep up.

hey skillz i need that maf do you still have it. this is adam the uy you swaped engines with. i'll pic it up if you want. pay cash......just call me you got the number.

hello all...i have noticed interest in the rack install. if i can help anyone just pm me your e-mail and i will send pics that you need. i have been working long hours so if i don't get back right away please bear with me. my jeep(85 CJ-7) is my work truck these past few weeks and has been on the fritz lately.......all new wheel bearings,new brakes,new rear axles,new starter, new solinoid(twice), and a neutral safety switch.i work about 60 hours a week right now so it's been crazy.did i mention i'm married.sorry got caried away. hope all are doing well. adam

hey i didn't e-mail you cause the address is wrong in some way pease send it again and i will e-mail pics. tried twice both times came back. :character0269:

i think this is a great swap but am curius as to why the fenders needed to come off. is there plumbing going out there in your swap?

have you seen any nonflip lights i want to try them.

sorry the last pics did not show all of the extra bracing that was added to the cross member.

i was originally going to use flaming river but got the power rack from a mustang instead(free). the rack is in front of the k member although it is not much of a k. the steering rods will go almost right up the drivers side frame rail to the column. pm me your e-mail address and i will send you more pics that better show what i did.

here are a couple pics taken of the rack as it goes into the car. had to modify previous work on cross member. the rack is from a mustang and does not fit in it's original orientation. so i rolled it forward 45 degrees to get around the motor mount

that sounds like a good thing...that you didn't have as much rust. if someone is going to fall out through the floor it had better be the passenger. hehe.......we someone has to drive.

the floor already has structural channel under it so the only thing you need is the 16 ga. with some beads rolled in it. just make sure you are welding the edge to one of the channels underneith. i didnt know tractor supply had sheet metal. good luck.

i believe i was 16ga from lowe's. thanx for the cudos. the work is nearing a new start. i am having to work 2 and a half hours from home for the next 4 months. the pay is good so had to do it. the fresh cash should put me to completion in the coming months. stay tuned......thanx adam
