Thread: Rambler hot rod here

Tweet

Hello everyone,
Figured I'd join and check out what's happening here and hopefully learn some new stuff. I'm almost 7 years into my 59 Rambler American project and it has been quite a journey so far. I'm fabricating everything myself so I had to learn a bunch over the years to get this far.
Anyway, It is a tube chassis car now with a mustang II front and a 9" ford rear. It has air ride suspension with a tringular four bar rear. The motor is the usuall small block chevy, boring, I know but it's a 1994 Lt1 that's twin turbocharged and coupled to a t56 6speed. The car will have ac, ps,pb,pw and alcohol water injection. I plan to drive this car weekly on the street and occasionally on the drag strip so, I also built a full roll cage. It's been a tough car to build so since it's my first fabrication project and all I used from the original car was the external sheet metal.
I still have a long way to go and maybe I can pick a few brains here to help along the way.
Thanks.
