We've got our cut list of materials done and now we need to have everything welded up. I've been out of town last week so I don't know where we are at yet. Will update soon

Well we're making some good progress and we should have something ready to try very soon. We've had some setbacks and learned some good things but I like the direction we are going now and I'm very hopeful that this is the final design.
We will do my FD housings first and I will post the pics when done along side the starting condition.
Here they are as is

What about housings with grooves in the middle of the housing where an apex seal came apart and took metal with it? Do you have a way of filling in the groove, grinding, rechroming, and finish grinding?
This is what I think many people have, is grooved housings, and would like to see a way to bring them back from the dead.

Glassman. The old thread you were talking about was on the other forum.
I'll pm the link to you. I recently just found out that my engine runs and has good compression so it should be in pretty good shape for a while hopefully. I am just going to throw a mild turbo setup on it for now once the bodywork is done but after that I am going to put a big turbo on it and a new shortblock. My old rotor housings would then be a perfect candidate for this process. I hope this works out for you. I hate having to find out parts are nla... Keep up the good work

Once holidays are done and my partner gets back from the Yukon we will get this finished. There is not much left for us to do, just some welding and fly cut some pcs to get everything nice and square.

I just got back last night after a weeks extended stay due to the rear diff blowing on our truck.
Gotta put out some fires then I can get moving on this again.

We are getting very close to completion. Some parts are at the machine shop now for finishing, then some mock-up and finish welding. Sort out some smaller details then we should be ready. I'll post an update as soon as we are ready.
