I've been really busy lately, I am building a '57 Chevy for a customer of ours at the shop I work for. This is a ground up build, I started with the bare frame. All the body work is being done by our body shop and I am doing all the mechanical and electrical systems. You can follow the progress on the shops face book page. Please stop by and check it out and "like" our page.
https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Hara ... -and-Body/147110112076249 BTW it has an LS1 from a '99 vette, a Super T-10 Trans (yes I know 4 speed) and a Multi link rear end with a custom ford 9 inch diff. -=Rick |

It a stock factory frame, that was stripped, then our body guy installed the custom brackets for the rear end, tubular trans mount, and LS1. And then we had it powder coated. the front control arms were media blasted (in house) and painted. |

Yes noone wants to see the dirty part of this stuff, luckly most of what I am working with is new or has already been reconditioned by our body guy. Most of the dirty stuff I'm dealing with is fabricating custom brackets, pipes, ect. Which I am doing all by hand with a die grinder and bench grinder. Without a metal break of course which would really make bending 14 gauge steel nice vs using a vise. If your on facebook, please refer your friends. I'm trying to build up some viewers for the new page so I can show my boss. BTW you can read some of the stories on my blog:AutoServiceUpdated.Blogspot.com |

I picked up a 24 in break at HF on sale for $64. It's not a box break but does an adequate job. |

I got this one, don't know if they still carry it. I didn't want one that uses C-clamps.
