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.  :LL:

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 ::thumbup ::usa

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?

Lookin good Dale! You'll like that shell, a lot of gel coat to level panels out and very thick glass.

Charley Strickland (76MX) picked up my body from Dur-A-Flex Wednesday and is on his way back to Texas.  More pictures on on FB page.

Setbacks are part of the build process. If it was easy, then everyone would be building one. Good you found the issue early. Keep up the meticulous work! Great build!

Was making progress and going to start on suspension when I had a bit of a setback. Discovered that I had warped my frame. Need to get that fixed then move on. Will get my body from Dur-A-Flex in January.
