So what are your plans for your 76, besides driving it? Looks like you are building a track car.

Nice build. Dont let anyone give you crap about cheaping out the hinges, if there is a place to save money it is on the bling. I think you are doing a great job putting the money where it counts. I cant wait to see more pics of the rear bumper, great idea.

My plans is really just to have a bad ass street machine (for now)...she'll be a showroom quality pro touring kinda of a car...Recaro seats and all the cool stuff...but I am putting in a 10 point roll cage because ocassionally i do want to go to the track and I am sure it will bust an 11 sec. 1/4 and they will shut me down and not let me run anymore...so i am doing it all now when it is most cost efficient than later...I may also minitub while the car is in fabrication...I have already bought my rear end so I would have to cut and narrow to make room for bigger wheels, but if I am already mini tubbed than all i would have to do is drop the rear...i am trying to make sure i do not limit myself or box myself in to any one configuration...it will cost three times or more to change things later...

Thnx again to all for checking in...

Thnx Sidewayz - everything is expensive as hell already...too many things I want to do that cost...although the billet hinges are awesome, who will really see them when I am driving...and besides, they certainly wont see them from the rear when I am passing them by...LoL

I have a 76 as well, and I enjoyed so much following the thread to this point. Very impressive build. I freaken love the rear bumper idea. The rear bumper on the 76 weighs a ton.

What can you tell me on how you mounted it. What fabrication was involved, brackets, etc.

Regards
