Nice car! I hate waiting on parts.

Doesn't having a rotisserie make life easier? Some friends and I built one and I don't know how we got on without it before!

Keep us updated, I love 60's full size cars.

Nice project. Love those '61 and '62s. I had a '62 SS many years ago and sold it for $600 .

What oil pan and headers are you using?

Welcome to the forum and Good luck!

I plan on having a new 2 piece shaft made. The headers fit pretty good, could of used a little more room on the right side.

I am using BRP engine mounts and trans mount. If I would of known they were not a direct bolt in set up I would have had the shop doing the work make there own.

I see you have a the rack and pinion on the frame which I have thought about doing. How low does it hang? I'm thinking about adding one on my car but i dont want it to hit the ground since I am useing air ride all around the car. was it a simple bolt on?

I am using the Unisteer rack set-up. Its about even with the crossmember, wont affect ground clearance. It was a simple install, but had to make spacers. I guess there is diff. in the frame , aleast thats what uni-steer says
