Re: Hotrodelrods 54 build

scored a 99 Explorer rear with 373 posi and disc brakes for $150
Started installing the Horton Welder Series parallel 4 link
Mocked up the front suspension. Lesson learned here. Spend the $75 per shock for the stud mount top. Much time and aggravation went into trying too make the Shockwaves work as they are.
Frame is now totally boxed with 3/16 plate. Just need to flip her and weld the bottom up.
Rear view. Ordered a step notch kit and tubular frame center section from Horton. Will finally arrive tomorrow. I thought I could get away with a "C" notch but it was not enough.
Only answer I have been able to find for getting the Ford 4.5 bolt pattern up front and keeping my stock G body spindle is redriling 4.75 rotors. My friend at the local Speed shop is going to let me use his mill to do so. I bought new rotors so I hope to only do this once.
More to come....
Cheers!
