My attempt at a 71 street machine

Wow, this is a really inspiring build. Where did you source those adjustable perches if you don't mind me asking?

 

The adjustable front pearches came from the roundy-round section on speedway motors

That's incredible. The stance looks perfect IMO. How much time did the body work take you to do?

 

There wasn't much for bodywork just the big dent u see in the driver quarter and 3 small patches no bigger than a dollar bill. With that and trying to make the car straight it took me about 3 weeks of nights and weekends.

 

How does it ride with those shocks in the rear? And is everything for the rear end going to be strong enough?

 

After being in storage for 6+ months I finally got the old girl out again. The coil overs squeak a little otherwise ride great and I removed the watts link and replaced it with a pan hard bar. There just isn't enough room for it.

 

Otherwise the rest of the suspension has been working flawlessly! I've inspected it at 300 and 700 mi.

 

Is the water pump turning the right way? The reason I ask is usually with that type of pully it is a reverse rotation and rides on the back side of belt and not on the ribs

 

I believe so, that is the pulley from the donor car when I drove it home. And I've put 700mi on it this month with no problems so far.
But thank you for the concern I will double check it!

 

We're good but thank you for bringing it to my attention

 

Wow, one super nice car. Love it.
