Re: Project: Recycle

Once the rear c-notches were done, I started installing the rear truck arms from Nathan @ Porterbuilt.

I initially intended & mocked the rear up for OE arms & shop built 2" lowering blocks. But, I was able to give input to Nate on building these arms & got a shot @ some of the first sets built w/specific tweaks that I believe are now standard production. I had to wait a few extra weeks (it was longer than 2 ), but they are worth it to ensure everything can move w/o binding.

I then moved on to the Panhard bar. I wanted true adjustability both centering the rear housing to the frame & setting the bar level @ ride height. I tried both the 65 & 68 OE style frame brackets but just couldn't get the bar level so I started building my own.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
