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  |

Now that we have the car back we can start to install some of the parts that we produce.
we will be starting with the clam shell stiffening kit we sell. We painted the car green so when we bring the car to shows it will stand out.  there was front end collision damage that was repaired at one point, so we will have to redo this properly.   we will also have to install floor pans, rear trunk floor, left rear quarter and the front trunk floor     |

Petey, how about an entire new chassis that we can just move our tags over to? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

At the end it needs to move to the Restoration thread area.
Is this Rotisserie simply a roll the entire cage over on its side and upside down or is there something I can't see? Waiting on the next edition! How 'bout showing us the presses in action - how you make the parts? and yes to complete bodies! |

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!

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) |

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 |

WOW!
This is perfect timing as I will be doing my floors, and many other parts. Looking forward to seeing this unfold and learn at the same time. Thanks PETE! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

Pete Well, I would like to see how you deal with that area in a transition between new floor pans and old thin rusted pedal area. Without super long arms, or a help, using a hammer and dolly is that area is challenging to say the least. One place I would like to have you observe closely as the installation of the pan happens. It's ugly, and a weld in panel would be small and helpful. Rich |

Plus one for me. I had to buy a used one for my project. |
