uk 62 resto rod project
hello guys
recently joined the site after buying my dream car a 62. it's a modified
car but that suits me having spent the last few years cruisin/drag racing a 64 nova sedan the vette already has a meyer IFS and is fitted
with a dana 36 IRS which i plan on changing to a 9" 4 link setup
the current motor is a ramjet 350 which i plan on selling to help finance the project and will be replaced with the engine/trans out of the nova
will have lots of questions for you to help the project progress

Hmmmm, my favourite year. Looks like it will be a great looking car. I like the wheels on it. Is it weird driving a leftie in a righty world, some of those streets over there are really narrow? Guess it's good for chatting up the birds on the sidewalk, right gov'nor.?.

not sure why you notched your frame for the steering. Meyers sells a bracket that comes with the kit that is REQUIRED (you have to have something because you have one too many universals to not have it).
questions?

The black 61 I work on and race (not my car) has large tubs. No way the soft top would survive. My blown red car has small mini tubs that just clear the 315.35.17 tires. It also has bump stops to prevent damage. My soft top still fits with a roll bar, but every thing is tight and the soft top is offset slightly to fit.
