No I did not and yes I am worried, I Cant find The Trunk lid Its buried in with all the other parts some where in that shop? although I could have removed one from one of my other fire birds...

First off asking a 110 v welder to weld 1/4" is asking a lot of any of the 110v machines out there not saying it cant be done but????

I am giving in after current in...

I was thinking more along the lines ofa 1 inch steel ball bearing welded to some square tubing that would slip over the shaft of the Arbor press with a set screw.
The next problem is creating the...

I have played with Carbon fiber a little Its basically like Glass for the most part.

I want to get this set up for Tuck shrinking Or better yet make one.
The tooling to make a round ball using a Lathe is expensive though still looking for a Good one for my Lathe ...

That all makes sense to me the more I look at current and older race cars I ask myself how they are lighter than the street car they were and in fact they are not.

This weekend I plan on finishing...

I dont think it will be much over 2500 but maybe ? wont know till its built and weighed.
The body is pretty light as it sits on my body dolly right now?

I will probably go with a Transverse leaf...

There have been many Drag cars built with a Torsion Bar front ends from Dragsters to Altered and Funny cars and many Cars as well.
