very clean...cant wait to see the finished project.

 

new meaning to the term >>>metal head<<<

how thick is the metal where the shock attaches?

 

Looks great! Awesome job!

 

+1

 

looks good take more pics ect long the way. what rims are you useing what rear axel do you have.

 

NICE....
what's going on with th RX8 in the background?
looks gutted????

 

lol cant believe you saw that othere car.

 

Look like a great option for those who have rusted wheel wells.

 

i will be making a thick piece of metal for the inside of the wheel wells and for the inside of the car i will be making a new or modify the stock support for the shock.

This is a friends car, his got 16" rims with 225/50/16. but he should be able to go with a 250-260 tire after im done and i highter profile tire. He sticking with the stock rear-end. i'm hoping he brings the car back in the winner so we can put the turbo 2 rear-end in. Thats what i was going to do in the beginning but he's getting older and he wants to drive the car this summer. He also hasn't driven the car in years.

The rx8 is a long term project of mine, i'll be building a 25.1E sfi spec chassis for it, i'll be running it in the Modified class in the nhra.

ya the wheel wells before were totally gone.

Got some more work done tonight.

Take a look

















And a patch in the floor





Luke, Garth

 

looks good.

 

Is this car for street,or what????????

 

Yes, the car will be street driven with a T2 engine in it.

 

Great looking work. This is much more entertaining than watching chuckleheads mess up a car on American Hot Rod.

 

so true

 

I like your work,it be cool to go to your shop..

 

Outstanding craftmanship That takes much skill and tools. Keep up the good work.

 

Your right trochoid,that man has great craftmanship..... You also need the tool's.

 

Thanks alot guys, really appreciated.

We'll keep posting updates of this project and many others as we find the time!

 

Since the owner wants to keep the stock rear axle for now, what are you gonna do about the springs? You cut the top perches and supports out.

 

Nice. Make sure you Por 15 the hell out of that while you have it stripped.

 

very nice workmanship mate well done

 

I'll be using the stock perches and making new supports or moding the old once. i haven't had time to work on the car all week so no updates.
sorry guys

 

Hay when you get back on it can you post a pic of the wheel on it,if you have them....
