Thanks Brian. You have some nice cars. Seen a article somewhere, don't recall where with couple Cyclones that look like yours. Were they?

Lou;I just looked over your pictures again.I think I would tie your spring pocket extension into the torque box for added strength. JMO,ROY. I was looking at pictures thinking same thing. Didn't like how it looked either. The extension looked like someone just added angle iron. Somebody reading som...

The Edge of the fender that lines up with the edge of the hood was pretty bad on mine varied almost 3/8" Gap wasn...

Made some more progress. Took my rear frame rail sandblasted the inside and coated inside and bottom of pieces I made to box it with POR15. When I was boxing the rail I started at the front and fitted it so it fit inside rail, then tacked the front. As I was working my way back the rail I would take...

No Quote. But Question for you sheet metal workers. When I bought the steel for my connectiors no one could bend them around here. and I tried. They told me the Throat?? on their machines couldn't do 3.25". I need 3.25" high and 2.5" wide. They said they could do 2.5"H and 3.25"W. Is this common or ...

I am going to fit the subconnector over rail in front http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag87/Lous1965Comet/Frame%20relocation%20and%20floor/image.jpg2_zps...

Found out no one local can bend it to the size I want so I bent it myself with hammer, angle Iron and bunch of clamps. I took one sheet cleaned i...
