Yes. It has been built to handle ~400 ft lb. So far it has held together nicely. Once I can afford it, a TKO 600 will replace it.

Rollin'

Impressive.

Nice work!

Getting close to a roller.

I also have a wet meth system too. Should lower temperatures significantly.

I am going to use a water to air intercooler. It is a system from a 2007 GT500.

What RPM said. :)

Nice! Love the fab work.

Mocking up the engine and turbo headers. I think a mistake I made before was to only support the turbos with just the header flange. No wonder I had exhaust leaks... duh... Now I will support them at the front of the head and at the turbo itself. Some of you very observant folks will look at the engine at go.."those are LS1 headers!" Well, your right. They have better flow, and the bolts are not jammed right up next to the tube. The new bolt holes are into the water jacket, but modern sealers will have no problem keeping the water in.

Good eye. Still a lot of welding to do.

Starting to stuff the frame so things can be located.

Coil over towers in.

I am 2x4 tubing which has a geometrical advantage. I am going to grind the surface welds for a clean look. I beveled the connections, and left a small gap for a strong weld. I will leave the inside corner welds, no need to grind those. Compared to the original unibody, it will be very strong.

Beautiful! I love the stance, mean...

Parallel as I understand it is for straight line launching, I could be wrong. I had a manual rack, and it turned like a battleship at slow speeds. I am going with a power rack on this iteration. Sounds like you are as close to the weeds as possible! :)

It was huge. But I also did a triangulated 4 link in the rear. It stuck to the road like a modern car. Before I upgraded the brakes, I had 15" magnum 500s, and cooper cobra rubber. I also dropped the whole car by 2", drop spindles are a must.

I did it for the original 69 frame. Worked great, and was very easy to install.

Still in the body. 6 point. Those are going to be the points where I attach to the frame.

Thanks. Not planning on running at the track. Just grudge nights. Front is Welders Series Mustang II IFS.

Ya, I guess I had a vision to put it on a frame, then just wanted it on the road.

With the regard to the body.... Me too!

11GA (~0.120"). Wanted to keep the frame to < 300lbs.

More updates. Front suspension, and drive shaft hoop.

So I finally got sick and tired of fighting the F'in unibody, tired of repairing a crappy design. The twin charged engine was twisting the frame even with connectors. Going with a purpose built frame from scratch. The chassis is so much easier to work on. Get to start with new steel, 2"x4" box tubing, and makes it easy in getting the suspension perfect. More to come.
