had a good wweekend , the axle is now located in all directions (i forgot to weld the X locator brackets on) heres a few pics of it now, also had a result with the 400 i bought, although it was full of water it is on standard bore so perfect for a big cube B motor.

a bit more progress, spent all weekend designing and making the front motor plate, just the mid plate to sort and i can mount the motor. still some work to be done, it will hold the alternator, coil, fuel regulator etc before its finished. and before anyone points out the obvious problem, i intend to make my own oil pump cover plate with pipes exiting sideways

when its finaly complete the frame will be blasted, and painted as a patina frame dosnt look too good (probably lime green or pink, depends what colour the body goes )Philth wrote:Build-up is looking good there, Trev!
Are you going to get the frame dipped and treated or even fine bead blasted and powder coated?
