Re: Project Pro Touring "Ole Blue"

Man, I'm terrible about updating this thread.....I've done a little body work, but that's about it.....
Anyway, tranz am had some questions about my watt's link setup so here's some pics to help you out:

Center pivot is made out of 1/2" plate with 8" center to center where the links bolt to. There are two more round 1/2" plates welded to each side (making the center an 1.5" thick) that I had machined to accept a generic bearing I found that had a .75" id to it. If I were to do it again I would be tempted to just machine it for a brass bushing and sleeve.....keep it simpler. I still have to machine a spacer to go between the bearings so I can tighten the pivot bolt without binding it up.

If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to ask.....
