The Project Pad

Are you sure you aren't from Norway?

Let's try a Tapatalk update.

Got the shock plates on and the lower bracing. Waiting for the housing ends to show up and then only one more step.

Who needs a fab9 when you made a fabG60...

Looks brutal!

Thanks! Front straps on and housing ends aligned. Ready to weld.

Just because I am not posting, does't mean I am not stalking. Looks nice Aaron.

nice rear end !

thanks!! Hank, GREAT JOB with EC and Seans car!!!!

here is how i left it for today. will be there all day tomorrow, possibly Sunday, more than likely Monday as well. may get some shit done i might.

Aaron, I just caught a glimpse of this thread tonight without catching all the way up.

Ignore if you've already mentioned it - but has anyone requested both subframes and strut assemblies? Are you willing to part with them?

I have a project that needs 2-piece suspension from the top mounts out to the hubs...

Let me know

CQ OEM parts?

i have a few spares yeah.... dunno if i have COMPLETE from top mount to hub front and back. but i am sure i could piece it together with all the extra stuff i have.

but this car, part of the de4al was they would keep the OEM suspension and running gear. so i threw on some of my spare stuff to move it around until it got to the shop.

HMU PM with what it is you are exactly looking for.....

More rear end work was done today. Also made a part for a funny car called The Gambler and helped with a bagged supercharged hotrod Harley bike.

Rear end locater setup. All custom made. Machine work by me.

Finished off the x-locater and made the drop links for the anti roll bar. So cute they are. It is really nice having a lathe to use. 3/8" rod ends in chromoly tube.

rear end out and back in.













uncovered that ass, its too nice to hide. removed some sheet metal....

very nice. Looks like that whole rear end and linkage will handle some serious power now!

yeah its the same thing he builds for these low 7 sec and 6 sec cars..... but i got to build it.

here is today. checkin the front end spindle locations out.

wow. its been a couple days since i have updated this. maybe i should.

Yeah, knowing you it has probably made a few passes already

maybe later today over some sippin whiskey i might update this thing here.

I was wondering what was going on here...

Teaser. Steering is done.





Steering wheel with built in "going good and straight" indicator stripe.



Hex bushing quick release.

What is the aluminum plate bolted to the front of the block?

that mounts the motor to the chassis. front plate and mid plate/adapter plate.

Wild that is what it looked like, just never seen any thing like that before.

The only reason I knew what it was is from helping my boss build his dragster. They are interesting pieces, but you won't find a better, or more solid way to mount the engine.

Wow, I have missed a lot lately. This thing is totally insane! That rear diff looks like it came out of a funny car or something. What a monster! Love the block mount and turbo location now too. I think you really belong in Scandinavia Aaron. This is one of the only builds in the US that is comparable to what some of those guys over there are doing with VAG products.

yeah i have not really kept it up here.

that was/is my first rear diff build from scratch. it sucked ass, i hated a lot of it, and for my misery i would gladly spend the money for a built one next time. but it is the same thing he builds for Top Sportsman and Pro-Mod type setups. the axles are like 2500+ whp or more. same stuff he has in a low 6 second/>220 mph Camaro with a 903 cubic inch BBC.

yeah there isnt much like it here, not in the VAG world anyhow. its possible that i might have some of that crazy Norwegian or Swedish bloodlines who knows?
