The project mav AKA The misstress...

Looks like it's coming along nicely..... Looking good.....

 

Did you fab up the frame connectors?

 

No, those are Chris alstons bolt in connectors...I welded em in though.

 

Do you have a link to those subframe connectors? Not sure if it's just the mobile site but I couldn't find them. Looks great

 

My understanding is they are not advertised, but are available if you call and ask for em. Probably made to order at this point. I got mine about 10 yrs ago and they were advertised on their site then.

 

Ok so its been a while...Thought I gave up didn't ya. After a bit of a hiatus, New job, new home new garage, new Grandson... Wow, its been 4 yrs! time flies when your living life! Ok heres where the project is at currently. Chassis is painted/done. Heavy duty belly bar is installed, hydraulic clutch master cyl is installed (still gotta finalize the connection to the clutch pedal) And done this week, prepped and painted the fender aprons. next on the agenda is the front suspension and disc brake install. I do want to be painting this car by September. Well see how that goes

 

Ill try to get some more pics up in the near future. Heres a few of the new garage goin up. first pic...Out with the old. Ill get some of the finished product soon gang!

 

OK one of the hyd clutch master installed. One of the finished undercarriage.

 

Finished fender aprons. Painted em yesterday. Installed upper cont arms and disc brk spindles today. Just waiting on the new rotors now...Should have em Monday.

 

And now for a few pics of the new garage. Still have to do the drywall but, its operational...24 X 30 with 12 foot high ceiling. All 2 x 6 construction with a truss roof. Insulated with R 19, which in a 6" deep space is equivalent to about an R factor of 34. Had 2 jugs of water on the floor last winter...Neither of em ever froze or even got slushy. My friends call it " The garage mahal" My wife calls it my summer cottage...lol...Yes thats a 9000# asymmetrical lift in there too. Ist pic looking in from front left corner. 2nd pic from rear left corner. One from front of property. Last from just outside the back of garage.

 

Glad you checked in!

 

Congrat's on all the new acquisitions; wondered what/why hadn't seen you for a while. Sprint still looks good. IIRC we meet at Dearborn, MI. MCCI event? How is your dad? Pleasure meeting both you guys

 

Yes we did meet in Dearborn Everett, that was a good time! Dad is doing well. Yeah, been buisey. The move was kinda right place at the right time, and the garage has been a long time coming. The sprint is still going strong, starting to show its age a bit more but still a fun ride. The grandson Jacob, is a riot and a hand full. He is two and plain flat out tires us out but its great. At two he is so smart and articulate its scary. Cant wait till hes' old enough to help gramps with the cars!! Good to hear from you Everett. Stay safe and stay healthy my friend. I'll tell dad you said hello.
Pete

 

I'll tell dad you said hello. Please do! I envy your new garage setup and good luck w/ new job and the project.

 

Ok... New rotors/bearings and seals are installed. Not putting the calipers/pads and hoses on it till its actually time for the car to have brakes again. (probably next spring)
