Made brackets an inch too long. That's what I get for trying to remember hole spacing dimension. And didn't have time to get more pipe yesterday so off to a much slower start than I like
Gettin some small stuff done. Finalized bends on crossmember mounting pipe and got bracket on.
Then worked on one of the two control arm mounts. Fit some flat bar in tube notcher and cut into at about 30 degrees to hug pipe darn near perfectly. Need to go get a new 1/2" drill bit
bare minimum rolling chassis is first priority. But i need the rear cab hoop to mount pipes to that supports the top of the rear struts. I need to know where my driver seat goes to mount rear cab hoop, and i need to know where pedals go to know where seat goes...and so on.
If i leave the firewall the way i first imagined it, the pedals would be where those two blocks of wood are, and my seat would be back there against gas tank. That would the rear tire like 10" behind me making for a silly looking truck. So i have to push everything forward which puts the pedals up into the firewall. It complicates fab but it is what it is.
that's kind of my point. why not build the truck first. then make the rest of it fit the truck. get the truck looking how you want it, then the rest will just kind fall into place.
The car is always evolving. The sedan is on its way out and im beginning to swap the parts remaining from the sedan over to my newly aquired rbp coupe. will try to update thread. make sure to sub to the channel for all the content!
