[Neils88]

First off.... my thoughts are with your son. I'm glad he is recovering!

Back to the lambo.... awesome work as usual. Your attention to detail shows! Keep up the great work!

It’s always interesting to watch your build. Love the ingenuity you put into these builds.  Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

Continuing with door hinge construction. Attempt 1. Will need adjustments.

Hi Dale,  Is there any process that might include scribe cutting on the underside of the warped corners and heating to bend as necessary or is it cut and glass time as required?  Have you checked with the manufacture for any help as it appears that the panel needed to be put in a fixture and clamped to prevent warpage during the cure process?  On the other hand, you could just dura-glas the top to a flat surface mate to the adjacent panel.

Did not check with Dur-A-Flex on warpage. It's possible that when I got part that It was fine and warped in my storage. I should have tried the heat process as have done that before but it's been a while. Still a little more tweaking required but that's always going to be the case. Thanks for suggestion.

I finally finished roll cage and created YouTube play list of progress. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaPE0IsfT25fhluJMpZPnXszb-vwFJEB7

Agreed. Just hit 74 last week in game of life. Based on how long it takes to build one of these, it's a race to the finish to see if I can finish before I get to old to do it.

OK Dale,  You, RT, and I are in the same age group (I think).  Seems that I remember something about the way that the front springs are located/positioned.  Patience is a virtue that we all need every day but Lowes doesn't carry that in their inventory

According to NAERC plans, the Corvette ball joints are not load bearing. Hind site, I would have been money ahead to use the Corvette hubs and had them machined to the 115mm bolt pattern. Would have been cheaper than 3 spindles, extra ball joints, hydraulic press and machining costs. I'm a slow learner, but I am teachable.

Hi Dale,  I see that the cool temps require warmer clothing.  Since you had to ream the taper in the front A arms to accept the Honda ball joints, why didn't you just ream to fit the Corvette ball joints?  Also, why not just use the Corvette front hub & wheel bearing instead of the S-10 as both would have needed the wheel stud pattern changed but you wouldn't have had to modify the mounting bolt holes in the knuckle to accept the S-10 bearing?
