Some very good progress sanding today on the Monster. Pass door and quarter are done and about half the trunk. Discovered some good rust holes in the rocker area. Some nice body shop in the past had filled them with Bondo. But, I'm still thrilled with the progress. I've been waiting a couple of years to start this part of the project. 

Bummed it still wont let me add any photos for some reason.

Been busy, did some sanding on the "Canned Monster" last night, going to be a busy weekend doing more of that. 

In the last two days I've had two companies contact me interested in sponsoring the Monster. Working out those details now and hope to officially announce them soon. One for the springs, the other for tires so I'm really excited about that.

Hard to get a good pic right now but the axle arrived from CT last night. Bill Carlson of WAC Customs did an amazing job on it. Guys if you want an axle custom made, give him a call instead of buying that Speedway stuff made outside the US. http://waccustoms.com/ Support you local business men and women.

Looking at a T10 later today I hope, or the next couple of days. It think it will work with the Y bell housing. Going to pull the cover and check the guts, make sure all looks good.

So, our pal Bill Carlson, owner of WAC Customs and official sponsor of our Canned Monster just informed me that he is upgrading our axle, the one he just finished! All I can say is wow. We will now have a I-Beamed-Tube axle. Bigger and stronger, just in case those front wheels decide they want to come up.

Still can't add photos. Not sure why. Hopefully that gets resolved.

Its been quite on the build. I have been working on the new magazine and its been taking all my brain power. It will be off to the printer in the next couple of days. We are going to try to get the wheel wells cut this weekend so we can get the rear in place to start the ladder bar design. 

Thanks for the additional info on the car Glen.

The car that YA posted is running a blown 312 and the trans is a 6 speed Richmond if I remember correctly. The car was built by a friend of mine here in Al for a guy in PA. The car is a work of art!

I finally had an adapter made for the lower pulley. I used a lightweight McCulloch pulley for the basic shape. It bolts up using the crank center bolt and the two auxilliary pulley bolts.  So I am progressing on my 4-71 setup. One thing I hadn't given much thought to was the hood. I see the scoop poking through, did the carb come up that high too? My hood is louvered and I really don't want to cut a hole in it. Kind of hoping to find a cheap 55 hood or even better a fiberglass one. Chuck
