145" Slingshot build in the UK
Ponti:
Lots of elbow grease...... Have to paint the chassis, going to be standard style Gloss Black. Clean and paint the steering and front end. I haven't got any internals for the back axle, but I am going to make a temp axle so I can set it on it's wheels so I can work out backspacing etc for disc's hardware.
Then I need funds for engine work and box work :'(
digster:
I wish you were closer Ponti. I'd sure lend you a 9" Ford center.

Thx for that, would have been cool.
Hardest problem I'm having is finding classic Injection parts to keep the old school theme.
Ponti:
Well I have had a productive few days, I have managed to fab a temp rear axle and managed to mount the wheels at the desired spacing from the body. I have also modified the steering box mount so that the butterfly sits a bit higher, it was just hitting the diff before so no hand room at all.
Next job is prime and paint the front axle and mounts.
I am also going to see if some one local can come and have a look at making some padding for my rollcage, and seat.

Alkydiggers in nashville TN will send you a nice vintage injection set up for reasonable
Call Mike Chilando tell him David Kluttz sent you Guess you will run a SBC? You can get an older unit like a 2 3/16ths hilborn that will work great I would not go smaller but those work great Use an enderle 80A-0 pump and you will be set used pumps from Mike are trusty and reasonable $$
