(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Hello all, just wanted to share my soon to be future endeavor for the ground up rebuild of my beloved '72.

Here is my wants, needs and desires:

Going to flare it with the glass flares received the other day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Going to a CIS injection with a turbo setup--I am going to totally develope this system: the headers,, piping, intake plenum, as so forth.
It will unbelievable compact, nothing at all like you see from those other photos. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I absolutely must retain all the storage compartments for the intended use: the trunk must still hold my top, the front trunk must still hold my coleman beer cooler. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

So I am also designing an oil cooler mount made of sandwich composite that will be place on the rear trunk top--going to be radical!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Doing the chassis reinforcements:

Also swapping all the factory sway bars from my other car,

got the reinforced rear arms back the other day--a place called Nelson Brothers in Fort Lauderdale did them up for me---very high quality!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)


Well, here goes nothing!!!

Oh, and I just got a new fujifilm digital, man that thing is nice!!!


--Oh crap--it won't let me upload the pics!!!!!! Can someone help me with this upload thingy????

wHEW! FINALLY GOT THEM TO UPLOAD!!!

My arms flexed allot, even with 195/55's on them...the on/off gas understeer was incredible---unsprung weight be damned---I want it tight!!


it was not the trailing arms you felt twisting...now the mountings and bushings you might have felt give, but not the trailing arms....throw them back on with everything 100% the same and you'll get the exact handleing.......

download IrfanView, it's free....you can resize the pictures for posting onto this site...it supposed be someplace here, but I just did a google search and downloaded it from someplace else.....
