| I'm
working on several different tasks so I will break it up
by task, First up is the front drive shaft hoop amd
transmission mount |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| I know
this is to be a race car, but I just cannot help myself
in that I want it to look good also. I'm tiring top keep
the "same" look to the front sub frame as I have
developed on the rear. Next is the front drive shaft
loop. |
 |
 |
| Now
this is truly a design maker or breaker. Rear wheel
wells. A true old school gasser would have round wheel
wells with the tires sticking out of them. I wanted to
try and copy the same shape as the front wheel well as I
just do not like the round wheel well. We did not back
half the frame and hind sight says that may have been a
mistake, but this is my first gasser and I wanted
something to show for the work that I have done here at
the Hot Rod Institute. So with the size tires and wheels
I have they are going to stick outside the wheel well,
but I will try and give the illusion that they are stock
wheel wells. |
 |
 |
 |
So I made a template that sort of
follows the shape of the front wheel well and also sort
of looks like the rear wheel opening only it will be
higher. |
 |
I took the plunge and cut it out. |
| Now I
need to build a lip so that it will have that stock
appearance |
