Moving along...

Subframe is 10 gauge metal: 60x30 mm

Frame rails are 10 gauge as well: 60x60 mm

Floors are 16 gauge...

Should be pretty sturdy...

Once again, completely AWESOME.

Wish I could have a front frame job like that. Put your welders in a box and ship them to me. I'll pay them in beer!

This is going to be a new car with a new frame and a bit of used sheet metal. You guys are doing a heck of a job on this resto. I am pleased to be on the list of 'watchers'. Go dogs! :classic:

Thanks man!

Duh, tell me about it ... I was pretty frustrated when I got the car back from

the sand blasting company! Not a whole lot to do about it though - but to

clinch my teeth together and deal with it

I understand how you feel, I have the same kind of attitude and if your anything like me, which from the looks of it you definately are, then you'll build a top quality car. :laugh:

How are you putting the frame together? Do you have a stock car to measure? A jig? How did you know where to mount the stress rod receivers? In case you have forgotten how it goes together, here it is!

I'm coming in late here, but this looks like a $100,000 restoration project. When you start calling composite companies, well uh..... what can I say?

Thanks for the pictures, impressive! Looks very pretty!

Stock measurements were taken from the original rails before they got

chopped up - I would like to think they're accurate enough (?) :classic:

Oh... By the way, I think I've neglected to post this screen shot from a

"video in progress" showing the new engine block.

It's a Nismo N1-RB26 block. Recieving a 0.4 mm bore/ 0.1 mm honing in the

video. Waiting for some more video-material to wrap it one up and post it.

What head will you be using? Carburetion? Induction?

Big fan of you're video's and project as well. But i must ask, are these your buddies working with you on this, or are you paying these people?

That looks like one expensive project if it's the latter...

In any event, Keep up the good work.

Starting out using the stock head. Injection - no carbs.

Building a fast street/race-car is never cheap - but since I've managed

to squeeze some sponsors into the build - makes it somewhat less expensive.

Bottom line: they're getting paid. But hey, money was made for spending

I know the RB260 is a twin cam... Will you be using Solexes or will it be injected?

My bet would be injected... much easier to tune.

errr... scratch that.... to: More tunable
