whodeanie's 88 gt custom build (Page 67/79)
whodeanie SEP 05, 01:15 PM
I will be back on the car soon. I had to order a lot of new parts from Rodney for the front end rebuild and Erik at HT is almost done with the hubs.
once I get all the parts in I will be able to get the car back on the wheels. once I can move it again I will get back to work on it.
I will keep you all posted.

No, they are the standard track for my 88 the front hubs Erik is making for me are a 1" drop other than that it is all stock width set up.
once I get the hubs and the parts from Rodney I will be pulling the front cradle to rebuild the whole thing.

I can't wait to see how that interior is going to turn out. It's looking good! I'm curious about the hubs too. I'm about to go through my suspension as well, and I'm not crazy about the stock spindle and hub, especially behind bigger brakes. What does the HT setup use for a bearing?

they build a custom hub that uses the more common rear bearings in the front.

once I get my front end back on the ground I will get back to work on the rest of the car but I can't do much with it where it is at the monent.
the bigest thing slowing me down on the car is money. I have to get the parts as I can little by little.
I wish things would pick back up at work so I could finish my car.

Just got a box of parts from Rodney today for the front end. I now have almost all the parts to finish it so I will be pulling the front cradle out so I can re do the steering and suspension.
once that is done I can get the car back on it's wheels so I can get back to the body work.
I should have some new pic's soon.

I was able to get the front suspsnsion installed this weekend but I will not have the hubs till later this week. once I get them I will be able to get the car back down on the wheels. then I will start back on the body and try to finish it up for paint as well as work on the dash and the inside of the car with final tweaks.
I still have a long way to go but the goal is to get it painted and the inside done so I can drive it with the V6 for now while I work on the LS motor.
With any luck it will be ready for the Dells next year.
I will post pic's once I get the hubs installed.
