Finally after a long and truly messed up winter I'm starting to get back on track. First thing was a new set of rear arms. Redoing everything to go parallel swing required way more time and energy than it was worth so I built the same thing I had before. Those are next to a set of 4X3's. The fiberglass is in the paint shop getting finished, once I get the arms finished it will be upper shock mounts, new upper transmission mounts, a few tabs and it's ready to go to powder coat

Home stretch now... That's the best part. When it starts to feel more like a Sunday PowerBlock show. Everything is all brand new, painted and it all just fits. |

Rick wrote: Looks great!! hope your young and limber looks like it might be tough to get in and out of.. Yeah, that's going to be interesting, young and limber went out the window some time ago. Getting in is as easy as falling down, getting out is going to be the tricky part. lngtrvl2332 wrote: Home stretch now... That's the best part.

After it comes back from powder coat, it'll feel more like that. |

It's gonna be a shame to get that dirty & scratched up. It looks too damn nice to use. |

Psycho Alpha wrote: Ttt Well, OK, if you insist. I was on the home stretch getting ready for powder coat, everything else is finished, when this showed up.  I borrowed a 6 rib to mock up the chassis and didn't think anything else about it until a week or so ago when I put my 6 rib in to do the upper mounts. My trans is 3/8" longer than the one I used for mock up so nothing will work without some changes. The fix was to cut out the nose mount and use a mid mount plate   Since I started this build I had explored the possibility of using a Subaru Transmission and up until recently, it was not an option because of the ring and pinion ratios available. Now they have a 4:86 ring and pinion making this doable. In order to find out how doable it was for me to use it in the Funco I bought a Subaru 5 speed transmission and altered the case to make it 2wd.   If too much need to change to make this work, I won't do it for this build but the next one for sure. Over the next couple of days I'll see just what all needs to change and go from there. One step forward, one step back. |

That sucks about trans length but exciting to see someone working with subie trans |
