His specialty is Stainless steel, if you're interested I'll pm you his contact info.Last edited by 1946Austin; February 22, 2012, 03:45 PM.

Here's a shot where you can see the cables:
And here's the triangle plate I bolted to the front sheetmetal. It has a 1/2" bushing between the plate and the frame, with a 3/8" bolt through it, and double nutted:

Spent the day vacuuming and cleaning the innards! Man did this thing get dusty! After all the miles I've put on the car, (and it's handled great) I noticed working under the frontend that I had a little angle on the drag link from the pitman arm. I had mounted the link heim end on top o the pittman arm, when I could have dropped it to the bottom and it would have been level. Kinda one off those Duh moments, so I unbolted it and moved it to the bottom.
All clean and ready for the sign shop tomorrow!

Funny, as I was going thru the newest pics I noticed the shot of the finished front end and thought to myself "man, some T-bars would make that look really killer...then in the last pic voila! t-bars...Great build man, cant wait to see the lettering.If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue
