Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
My mock up of housing to frame to tire sidewall clearance called for 37 1/2" axle flange to axle flange.
The tape shows 37 1/2" right on the money I like it when a plan comes together.

Strange provides premium quality Timken bearing with the spool kit. Also Strange caliper mount bolted on, I like shinny quality parts.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
sure is nice when things work out as planned
Also, notice the Allstar brand hardware for adjustable struts. Allstar is a Lane Automotive house brand conceived, designed and distributed by lane Automotive. The line is very extensive with hardcore items for all areas of a buildup. I find the Allstar line be be excellent.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
This board is mostly hard core. Thus, most on here will understand.
*New suite of classy duds top to bottom, the latest style. [ho hum] *New easy chair, plush, top of the line, [ what ever] *First class tour of Caribbean, VIP all the way with personal driver [o well, I will think about it] *completely new yard, new sod, new grass, all landscaped. [ who will mow this?] OR, A new Dart SHP Pro Series block with BBC cam bore, .904 lifter bore, all main caps have four bolts, .650 deck and cylinders to allow 4.070 overbore. Yea! That is what I am talking about! Just what I wanted

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Now that's some sweet parts. It's a shame to cover it up. Maybe you can get some of those ss lexan heads and intake.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Chief, the reason for photos is to allow looking back on shinny parts after they are put in service.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
today I shifted gears [no pun intended]
The first photo is my back yard shop, combination yard tools, wood working, and race car small parts building, all on first floor. Second floor is more storage and a Lionel train layout that me and the Grandchildren play with Second photo shows my trusty helpers Mickey and Minnie, they love the Grandchildren but have no interest in climbing the stair to see the trains run.
