Chris, you are welcome. This is an enjoyable build. I plan to carry the complete process all the way to a Division 4 super stock race.

More soon

Friday evening updates;

these photos show the continued effort to keep the build level and plumb. Also, the chassis tables are moved away and stored until the completed package is ready for final adjustments.

these photos show the right side factory frame cut away. Also note the factory bed mounts are still in place.

One of the very critical dimensions was locating the forward four link brackets and crossmember. I am happy with the outcome.

The remaining factory frame pieces will be triangulated braced with pieces of tubing.

It is beginning to show the plan coming together. Lot's of measure, check, measure, check, measure, check.

Check tire tucked in nicely. The outside of 32 x 14 tire lines up with the front tire outside sidewall.

The new frame is 8 1/2" inboard of the original frame. Outside new frame to outside new frame is 23 1/2"

The short wheel base is becoming obvious.

Four other race cars have called this their home away from home. I look forward with excitement to the first hauling of the Super 10.

Columbus Day brought good progress.

The wheels are hanging on the axle tubes, no axles, housing tubes are still oversize length. When finished there will be about 1" between side wall and frame.

This week Monte [Mr Sheet Metal] of Team Woodfin will help me lay out the preliminary cuts for rear tubs. Then the bed can go on for a full cut and tub design.

One hurdle ahead, how to modify the bed floor for rearward roll bar struts. Monte will have a plan soon.

Also note triangulated bars frame to four link brackets

It's a funny thing about surface rust. The camera greatly exaggerates it, the tubing is much cleaner than the photos indicate. We do have times of high humidity in East Texas. That combined with handling produces a light surface rust.

When all welding and fitting is finished the back section will be sandblasted, primed, and painted.

And another look at forward frame bracing
