New Build

[LMH]

Nice! Maybe I missed it but where did the AL body come from? Did you build that too?

Hello, Very nice, those fotos bring back a lot of memories from my build.

One thing you need to check. In post 147, the last foto showing the trunk frame. The bottom tube needs to be held up off the lower frame tube to allow enough space for the trunk handle & latch. The measurement is approx. 1.25 - 1.5" I can check that on CSX2498 if needed.

good luck, Karl

Larry, the body is one I have for a different project, just used it to see how it would look and fit.
It is hanging back up on the wall now.

Karl, thanks for keeping an eye on things. I really like input from others more info and eye's on some thing is all way's good. I have a good inch or so gap between the two. I did set up the latch to make sure it would work. I think if you look at pic two you can see the gap better.
Thanks for looking and offering help.

Now we are putting the last few brackets on the frame, passenger foot box support, roll bar mount, rear trailing link mounts, and there is a pic of the tko trans mount.

Here I have made the supports for the side windows, they are welded to the door frames and rear body frame support. The Last bracket to be welded on is the hand - park brake handle bracket. Next was to go and check every weld and make sure i did not miss any thing. It is nice to be done with this part of the build.
And that is how you build a 427 cobra frame, at least in my shop.
