Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
Out with the old boxed and powder coated originals in with Porterbuilt tubular extended 1/2" bars. This will center the axle in the wheel house. Yes there is daylight in one shot but the bolts were hand tight.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
Still on jack but tucked all the way. No bump stops or pipe notch. Yet.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
Hey, do the 295's fit without rubbing the rear wheel tubs on the inside? I'm looking at the same size for the rear but was wondering if I would have to modify by stock wheel tubs. I have a 1965 12 bolt rear. Also, your project looks great..

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
I don't have a good picture. It bolts in like stock. The rod ends have a "cone" spacer on ech side to center it.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
Cut the pan-hard bar mount off. Reposition the rear. Did valve cover swap, with hint of the body color. Full down on frame and fender, time for a nip/tuck and pipe notch. Swapped in the MSD Distributor and coil, no more HEI.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
Some updates. Dragged a 4 door dualy to buddy's house. Applied GM engine decals. The 400 is early Caprice which is right size and car wrong year. The 400hp is for the 409. Test fitting Porterbuilt bar and frame mount. Now the axle sits 1/2" back the new mount is relocated rear of crossmember about where the 63-72 is.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
Post on trailing arms not working. What's a good price range for the ones I pulled off?

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
Cool build. Do the PB rear arms drop it any over using stock or just move the axle location?
