anything new?

 

Hoping to get back into the shop this week. Been trying to gather a few items to make another assult on the project, plus had many a distraction as of late. I should have the front sub-frame completely assembled (Minus steering box and linkage) and be ready to install the engine and trans by the weekend. I either need to purchase a new steering box, or have my original (manual) box rebuilt. I am not sure how hard that car will steer with manual steering with the 502/5 speed between the frame rails.

 

Well,

I got my steering arms last evening, and cleaned, primed and painted them this evening. I got them installed and finally got my new rotors and calipers installed.

Of course,I couldn't wait to put my wheels and tires on the front.....

 

looking good man.

 

Very nice

 

Great pics, Outstanding work on the subframe!

 

wonder if we can get this section moved up top.

 

Got it.

 

thank you sir!

 

Wow, Thanks Guys/Gals! I will try to keep this worthy enough to keep checking in on.

I did get some front suspension steering components installed this week. The clamps for the tie-rod sleeves came in black phosphate, but I blasted them and plated them....Just cause I like the look.

I still am unsure of what I am going to do with the steering box. My original box needs rebuilt, which, if I could find the parts, I would do it myself. I kind of want to put on power steering, and another side of me wants to put some form of aftermarket rack/pinion on it. What is everyone else using on your rides?

Here are a few shots to look at.
