lildj2483 · 05-18-2009, 08:26 AM

oh i know yall wont post after every comment. well if i can get another cell today i will take more pics my cell got broken yesterday. forgot it ontop the car when it rained and now it just keeps saying battery is required when i turn it on with only the batter powering it. i think it went retarded or something,haha.

lildj2483 · 05-18-2009, 06:38 PM

well i got the rearend welded up. now i just have to put it together and weld up the mounts for the shocks. then the rear section will be done. i have to change over the rear flange on the driveshaft for the driveshaft to bolt up. then i will work on the mounts in the front. i hope to have some pics up tomorrow of the recent work. well peoples i got my inspiration back so i will be working more on it. ehehe well later

klyph · 05-19-2009, 02:33 AM

Nice, keep plugging away.

lildj2483 · 05-19-2009, 01:35 PM

well i now have the whole rearend all welded and bolted up. i even have the rear struts all bolted and brackets welded up. in a little while i am going to put the rearend together then work on theengine mounts and transmission mount so i can put the car all the way on its own wheels. i think i am going to have to use a mustang rack and pinion though. will update later but until then here is 2 pics for now.

i will put up the other pic as soon as i can get it to load so i can put it on here

just click report post button and report it. i just did.

well heres an update only major welding i have left to do is the motor mounts. i got the trans mount made. rearend is mounted. other then that i need to rebuild the motor and get a peice to fix my drivshaft so it will fit. and i need to make the mount for the radiator and for the steering. but its coming along pretty smooth. will have more pix soon.

lildj2483 · 05-20-2009, 09:32 PM

well. i got the transmission mount done. just have to weld it to the side of the car by the doors. im making some frame braces down the side and middle of the car to strengthen it all up. got the motor mounts 50% done. im shooting for a test drive by the end of next week. all i have left to figure out is what i will do with the steering. i have an idea but. i have the motor kinda high but this way nomatter what i can make sure it clears the steering and crossmember braces.. i will try to have some pix tomorrow.

phyregod · 05-20-2009, 09:39 PM

Cool. Get it running, brace it up, chop the roof off of it, sand all of the paint off and lose the hood. That would be one bad ass rat rod.

Calesta · 05-20-2009, 10:25 PM

lildj2483 · 05-20-2009, 10:45 PM

lmao haha. i might lower the engine and trans down some but i dunno yet all depends on the rack and pinion i use but i got it perfectly situated right there. and right there it seems to be pretty solid. so i might just leave it there.. i still find it funny that i do not have to use a custom driveshaft. oh and if it was a coupe or hatchback i would consider making it a convertible but not with it being a 4door. that would look weird,haha

Calesta · 05-20-2009, 11:05 PM

Modified 4 door would still look good.

Magana559 · 05-21-2009, 07:30 PM

Keep up the good work man! Looks like you will have it done by the end of next week.

lildj2483 · 05-21-2009, 08:13 PM

well i have the motor mounts made up. just need to brace them up some more. trying to figure out what rack and pinion i am going to use. i need to finish welding in the transmission cross member. i had to stop because it started raining earlier.i also have the radiator i am going t use. im going to make he mounts for it soon also. once i get all the mounts made up. i will pull it all out make sure everything is welded up nice and tight and then i am going to take more pics because i am also going to paint everything. then test drive it then if everything works out i am going to start the sheet metal work. im still going to use a surburban 40 gallon tank. unless if i use fuel injection then i am going to use a lincoln mark7 fuel tank.

Korax · 05-22-2009, 10:15 AM

40 gallons, damn. Why are you going to use such a large tank? Just curious.

phyregod · 05-22-2009, 10:17 AM

No no no.. Beer keg fuel tank in the trunk ftmfw. Lose the trunk lid too, to show it off.

lildj2483 · 05-22-2009, 12:02 PM

lmao haha. im using it for the weight and less trips to the gas station. i do alot of driving back and forth from houston tx to south,ms and from south,ms to pensacola,fl
to the big fuel tank will really help out. i am also going to mount dual batterys in the trunk. unless i decide to leave out the rear seat then i will just put them right there. still deciding if i should put the rear seat back in or not. what do yall think.

INJEN78 · 05-22-2009, 12:07 PM

whoa..this actally looks like it has the possibility to be completed...get some pix..im real interested..as for the seats..leave em in

phyregod · 05-22-2009, 12:08 PM

You're going to drive thousands of miles in this thing?

Just get yourself a $500 stock EF with a d15 in it. Use that to do long distance driving. You'll pay for it over and over again in saved money via fuel mileage. And it'll be safe.

I'm all about a monster v8 rat rod civic project, but it serves a certain purpose, and that purpose is not touring.
