major surgery, what comes next?

Just kidding, I have big plans and I think i finally figured out this picture thing so here is what is going on in my latest project.

I just got the frame welded together and in the car today. Those inner fender wells have a 2.5 inch strip on the edge to add plenty of room for some fat rubber. I am pretty much stuck until i decide what to do for a four link and coilovers now. That front crossmember is set right at the front of the back seat, so I will have to shave the seats down when I get the new suspension and sheetmetal installed. I even built some new tools to help me finish up my project.

Im jealous of your TIG. What frame rail kit did you go with??

Those miller welders are awesome. I dont remember where I got the frame rails from, it was a couple months ago, they are some awesome rails though. It wasnt a kit, it came separate as rails and a crossmember, I cut the rails and crossmember to size and built the rest. I think I am going to be building my own custom 4 link (not four bar) setup (no kits) because it will take a lot of custom work to fit within my specs anyways. Now that I know how to post pics, I will make sure to keep you guys updated on my progress which will be slow (im in school at gvsu). By the way, im 20, Im just not afraid to tear into this car cause she isnt my dd. Here are a couple pics of my first project.

Thats not a 289, I just had my old air cleaner on the 351 for a while before i got a different one.
