1966 Nova Build

[Glen]

I like to look at projects in the works more than finished cars.

I am the same way....and I would rather be at home working on a project than out driving one of my finished cars.

Great stuff Glen. Like the addition of a anti-roll bar on the rear. Will you also do a panhard bar? I find the rear diagonal bar only on a 4-link to be inadequate for housing control on a street car. Very nice work as usual. Not off-topic for me. Well done is well done!

Love the progress pics, that's going to be a great car.

Thanks for the compliment....I plan to run a wishbone....it will need more than a diagonal bar.  No panhard bar.

[Glen]

Woohoo....a long weekend,  The control arms off the old chassis were too short, so I had to make new ones.

nice job there glenn,  I like it.....still in the middle of my new henry j build , so i appreciate your work....i went with the 25.4 but used a swing out bar for old guys as i dont intend to run better that 9,0  , it will cert at 8.50  ill keep wathcing this one for sure....

[Glen]

A little more progress.  Things really slowed down once I started on the Funny Car Cage.  There are still a few bars that go in here to complete it but overall you can see the shape.  I wanted the two hoops front and rear to be symmetrical, so when you look thru the windshield it looks like a true FC cage and not a jail cell.







I also located the front motor plate and had some tabs waterjet cut to weld to the frame.

Nice looking work.

Yeh, really nice work.....and how do you keep your shop so clean ??

[Glen]

how do you keep your shop so clean ??

I try to limit the flat surfaces, it makes you put things away.  I do take a lot of pride in the shop, its something I always wanted and after 4 years it still looks pretty good.

[enjenjo]

My shop always looks like a tornado just went through it.

Maybe it has something to do with the difference of working with new stuff or old stuff. GPster

But you did win the "Messiest Bench " contest a few years back ...  

He ain't kidding Glen ...He even piles stuff on the VERTICAL surface's....
