This is a great looking project! Looks like a bonafied frame off. You might want to have the thread moved to the build and project section. Subscribed.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual

I couldn't help but notice the longer studs up front on your rotor. I assume you are running a thin spacer behind your front wheels? Is this how you got your Boss center caps to fit on there without cutting the spindle shaft and dust cover? I'm pretty familiar with the 338 mods required on the rotorsHere.

This is my buddy's Sand Car engine. Trading labor; I am rebuilding his transmission, and he will powder coat my frame. Check out Powdercoatingplus here in Vegas..

very nice! i like how you turned down your rotor hub to fit the wheel instead of going the wheel spacer route.

Man that frame looks awesome! That engine looks great in there too. Are your bolts chromed or polished stainless? Keep the pics coming!
