Had no idea you could still get new OEM for 60 series!
 
Nice progress. Paint is sweet. Where does that roost rack bolt in? Factory holes or some custom work on the body sheet metal?
 
JL Audio boxes arrived.

All door and window seals and a few other things are ordered from City Racer.

After going back and forth the front coilover towers are designed. Front axle control arm bracket is designed. Front frame upper and lower brackets should be finished up and fit next week.

Then onto the rear bracketry.
 
Rear link brackets are dialed in. Going with a triangulated rear suspension. Designed at 45 degrees and the upper and lower arms are equal at 28.5" eye to eye. Some live by the 75% rule (uppers should be 75% of the length of the lowers). I agree with this for the front but the rears I like them as equal as possible. Plus you get way more unbinding travel and the pinion angle stays flatter to the Tcase through the arc travel.

Before I finalize it I will make a mock up on my little model and verify before proceeding.

Since the GM Performance narrow accessory drive kits have all been discontinued, I pieced out each bracket separately. I don't use the wegner, holley kits. Too many fit up issues and water pump swaps.

PITA... but want it to work like Whipple designed it without having to go through belt size changes to figure it out.
 
Radiator issues?
FSR radiators are failing. Had 3 start leaking. I will not use a product a company won't stand behind.

Mosley is awesome but FSR is not something I will ever support again.
