Had a package come in from Empi during the week. Front disc brakes and the rest of the braking system to install. Weekends work on the pans painted, beam has had its surgery to narrow and install adjusters, fabricated some new shock towers to make it fit the car better. Going to get the beam finished up and painted this week.

Be busy with several projects, Have the beam closer to going back in, need new link pins and bushings, on order. Got the sound board on the pan. mounted the trans. Made a cart for the body to get it off my lift, and take outside for sanding and blasting to worse areas.

Wow, great progress Mark! When you add adjusters and narrow a beam, do you remove the upright pan mounts and do the narrowing in the middle of them beam, or do you add adjusters in the middle and then narrow toward the outside of the tubes w/o removing the upright mounts? I can see pros and cons to each way. We are going to narrow and add adjusters to my neighbor's 66 front end. |

Put them back at the same measurement of center.

When you're welding the beam halves back together in the center, do tack weld some angle iron or something across the tubes to keep them straight? |
