 I've been busy getting ready for school. I'll probably work on it later this evening or tomorrow after school. I'm taking a break from the transmission. Its very difficult and frustrating, so therefore I work on it for short stints. Sorry for not making any progress. Malcom, I use AutoCAD. I spent probably 10 hours on the rim and tread.

Slobber...Slobber, WOW Mike what a build! How did you determine how to build that chassis jig? I'd like to scratchbuild something, but can't figure out where to start the measurements and to keep everything straight and true

Heres something to wet your taste buds. More rough work on the transmission.
  Thanks for reading! The jig just came to me after a lot of thinking. As did the rotor jig that I will be building later on.

Great work Mike, sorry I have not been checking this thread more. Looks like your on track to knock this bad boy out. When It's done I'm going to have to drive over to one of those ATL modeling get-to-gethers to see it up close. Keep at it mike, your fans are eagerly awaiting your progress.

Been working on the street rod a bit. Progress is slow and steady. Currently I'm working on the front end building the front cross member, and control arm mounts. I've designed the front cross member to be curved and flow with the rest of the body and lead your eye from the control arm mounts to the front cross member and from there. They arent your standard looking independent front suspension kits. Tomorrow I'll be building the lower control arm master to mold and cast.
I apologize for not keeping you more updated. I like to help the readers out but I do not have my camera when I'm working on this at school usually. Thanks for your patience, and for looking through this thread.     I hope you enjoy! Hey Matt, glad to see you here! Stick aroud some and post your current projects.
