I'm starting this thread for people who need reference or a guide to install some of the parts that we produce. We will be making how to videos also that will be posted on our youtube channel.
We bought this car off a member here, Enhoover. When we received the car we stripped it and built a rotisserie (plans for these are available). We removed the right rear quarter panel to better illustrate some of the installations that will be done. Here is the car right after we got the rear quarter removed. the rotisserie we built off to the blaster |

Is this Rotisserie simply a roll the entire cage over on its side and upside down or is there something I can't see? How 'bout showing us the presses in action - how you make the parts? and yes to complete bodies! The rotis rolls right over. Its much easier with two people, but manageable with one. Maybe some day the whole car can be made! This can only help the end user because when you (the manufacturer) start installing metal, you will identify design tweeks to make them better and easier to install. Like the Engman kits that progressed over time through many iterations. And somewhere in the build process you are going to say to yourself "dang, I wish someone made this replacement master cylinder/pedal floor area". Then you will! Ya for sure we will find areas we need to tweak, and then we will make improvements. If the pedal area get more demand, that is a possibility in the future. Hi Pete... Perfect timing. My brother just placed that big order for the sheet metal this past week. Time to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) & (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) .. I'm sure this will help in some areas. Any plans on installing the R/R inner control arm mount on your car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) No immediate plans to replace the control arm. This car surprisingly does not have rust in that area. This will be a fun progression from start to finish. Im looking forward to giving updates on this project. Its going to take some time to install all these parts but be patient and I think the outcome will be very informative and fun to watch. Pete |

No immediate plans to replace the control arm. This car surprisingly does not have rust in that area. Famous last words.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (They often rust from the inside out; it appears that a lot of them didn't get enough paint in between the multiple layers of metal.) --DD |
