Glad to see you are still working on the car, been a long time since I poked my nose in your thread. Looking Great.

Thanks! It's so much fun to work on, and it's at a very rewarding stage where progress is easy to both see and feel.

Awesome work David

Flanged.

Lots to tidy, but pleased with how this is coming together.

Nice fit

 

[1970RT]

Picked up a set of lightly used 305s for mock-up on the front.

They’ll work for the rear until I can find a set of 325s or better.

I'm going to find some used, bald ones when the time comes to check for fitment with the tool I got from Speedway. Want to see how much I can get under both ends plus wheel specs.

Awesome work. Just re-read the whole thing tonight. Keep it coming!
BTW, what program do you do your drawings in?

Hey, thank you. I do all my 2D drawings in BendTech’s plate module. It’s easy to pickup and inexpensive.

I got tired of all the muck and crud that accumulated on the frame, so I plugged a couple of hours to clean it up.

Then, I adjusted the flange on the wheelhouse to get a tighter fit, and proceeded to sil-brz most of the front corner weld seams. There's still a fair bit of blending to do.

Inner wheelhouses are pretty much done for now. There’s just minor tidying to do.

Perfection!

Perfection!

Or as near as I can get. I just want these to fade into the background as if they were OE.

Mission accomplished!
