Just an update - I don't seem to post much ( probably goes with the progress ).

Rear hubs are tacked - just need to clean the metal and final weld. I found a machine shop that made me the threaded tube for the UCA - to match the M20 bolts I bought. I couldn't find 10.8 bolts that had thread the entire length, so I have 8.8.

So I have everything that I need to get the rear wheels on. I guess I should start shopping from rims and tires. I have original merkur tires, and 16" rims/tires from an 86 thunderbird, but I want something more classic looking ( but not too heavy ).

I'm trying to stick to the plan by having a roller by this summer.

Nice work, Tim. Do you have the chassis done or are you starting with some of the smaller bits of the car. Regardless, it looks good.

Cheers,

Lonnie

Hi Lonnie,

Thanks.

I have the chassis done. My posting skills are not there yet, this should have linked to the end of my build log. Meanwhile, I'm searching for an Avatar.
