Larry, I'm sorry to hear about your wife's health. I hope she is better soon.

Looking forward to this car hitting the track.

Curtis, I am her primary car taker. A role I would not have chosen but to my Suprise, I am doing OK with it. She has lots of strikes against her and with each set back, that is her new normal.

This is an off the shelf Hedman header for LS swap. It is a perfect fit, what a nice surprise. 1 7/8 tube with plenty of room everywhere.

I spotted this on Amazon when shopping for casters. Stand by for the results.

Rhino cart, rated for 2000 pounds. Googe it and watch the video.

New frame rails 3" inboard of OE frame and old frame cut away. This allows a 30 x 10.5 tire. Although I could mount the new frame more inboard, I want to challenge myself to be competitive with the 30 x 10.5 tire. I want to learn those lessons.

Earlier pic showed cut factory rail you were going to reinforce. I guess you changed to going further inboard with new rails. I'm guessing pre-bent or do you have a bender for that?

Eman, many times [most times] my projects evolve as the process takes place. I had the frame rails on hand from another project and once I had the OE rails stripped down, I decided it would look cleaner to use the one piece, formed frame. Plus, doing so gained a 1/2" inboard clearance. It is still a work in progress. The final will be a clean, functional fit.

I understand the "evolving" part, I was interested to see how you were going to do the rails cutting them like you did.

Foot, no, conventional headers. Hedman builds a very nice LS swap header that fits great.

I will post a pic.

Progress is slow just now, but it will pick up soon. The roll cage kit arrived Wednesday from Auto Weld Chassis.
