I use a stub shaft and use an oil that has a high zinc formula.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

This weekend was fruitful. The k member is coming along awesome. I need to figure out the steering rack mounting points and the driveshaft loop.

It's made from 1.5" .083 4130 chromoly. My tube fab skills are getting better. All this practice will pay off on my next car, I want to build a competitive rwd chassis car.

Looks great mark !! Amazing work.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Those notches look so nice and tight. Rwd chasis car seems like it would be right up your alley. What platform would u use?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Nice, you can practice making another if you would like. :KANE:

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Thanks for the feedback. The chassis I'm thinking about is a new camaro. I want to buy an insurance total loss, theft recovery car. The more that's gone the better, for the exception of body/trim parts.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Damn I bet that's a major weight loss. What's the weight difference between the two?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

That would be sick!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Your level of bossery is so out of this world.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

New Camaro is pretty heavy chassis to start with, why not something lighter? That K-member is sweet. That was my next project if I kept my talon.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

It's been a while since I've been on here. Wow the car looks amazing! As always!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

So is a DSM and look how this one is turning out :D

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Word. It will be way lighter than in its stock form. It needs to weigh a decent amount too. As a big cube big block and a couple of 88's or 91's will make rowdy power.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

And done. Old stuff 72lbs, new stuff 29.5! 42.5 saved.

Omg, just jizzed. So pretty! That's a good diet.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Superb.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

That is absolutely gorgeous.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

That looks amazing. How did you get the tube ends curved and angled to mate so perfectly? Fly cutter?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Those GM produced COPO Camaros start off as a "Body in White" - You maybe able to order one of those???

Awesome tubular crossmember!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Excellence as always Mark, well done.
