Frontline Fab doesn't make them anymore. You can get any local hotrod chasis shop to build you one.
 
I'll build one. Just didn't know where to bolt it to.

What most do and is the easiest is to switch to a one piece driveshaft which eliminates the front carrier bearing and just make a loop to bolt on there.

Isn't there a minimum distance from the front yoke though?
 
I thought we couldnt do a 1 piece because there was a slignt angle needed to be ontained? Even the DSS arent one piece.

Its actually a 2 piece we still use the factory rear section.

And there is a min/max distance from the front yoke for the drive shaft loop.

"Maximum of 6" behind the front U-joint, made of 1/4" minimum thickness by 2" wide material, or 7/8" X .065" welded tubing."

I apologize, when I say one piece I assume people know what i'm talking about. DSS is the only company that I know of that makes a driveshaft for our cars so when anyone says something about an aftermarket driveshaft its going to be a driveshaft shop driveshaft. Just depends on if its the 600hp or 1000hp one.

The only gripe i have about it is that it sticks out the transfercase too much. I'm going to talk to Andrew at Frontline Fab and see if he can come up with something to correct this. I was thinking like maybe a billet spacer to go from the back section to the diff. Just somthing to push the yoke a few more inches into T-case.
 
Some parts came in for the new radiator setup.

FAL shrouded fan

Unfortunately this is the wrong fan, FAL-123 I need FAL-125. Working with STM to get this resolved.
 
I just noticed that you have AVID motor mounts. Did you have issues with the rear and tranny mount. Both were wrong in my kit when I got them. The hole location on the transmission side is positioned lower and the rear mount I sold all together because it was the wrong height and bolt pattern to the subframe was wrong. :confused:
 
The trans one was fine, but yes the rear was way too tall. I called extremepsi and Avid with no resolve to my issue.
 
Same here extreme psi nor Avid resolved the issue. So the tranny one bolted right up? You didn't have to fanagle or push the tranny downward slightly to get the bolt to pass thru?

Same here and wrong hardware. When I asked Avid about it they told me they would ship out the right kit and hardware for weeks. Then after 6 mouths of waiting. The Owner told me to go #### myself. Cant wait to see him at the track. Magnus said if we get 10 people together he would make a kit
 
I had to use different hardware yes. The bolts supplied were incorrect. I also have the bulfab front chromoly crossbar so I got the trans and driver side mounts on and then had to use my engine hoist to pull the motor up to get the bolt to slide through the front mount. Its a complete pain in the ass. But.... Now its solid as a rock. I'm sure the rear mount will probably end up tearing and there is no way in hell i'll put a poly bushing in it. If I did that, I don't think i'd ever get them all bolted in.
 
Same here the bolt kit was incorrect. I ended up reusing the original rear motor mount that had a poly bushing in it when I bought the car. It's probably going to be a pain when I put the transmission mount in. I was thinking of slotting the bracket that bolts down to the transmission and then marking it and having the old gap welded closed so it cant slide around in the future. Haven't messed with that part of the build yet.

The CAS cover from frontline fabrication hasn't been updated to their site yet. I think most people have been ordering them directly from him off of FaceBook. That's how I got mine atleast :)
 
Amazing build so far man. You got any pictures with those new wheels on the car? They look gorgeous, will definitely need the specs from you. If you dont mind me asking what they run you a piece?

As far as specs go, it depends on if you're running coilovers or not.
 
Just curious, what engine oil are you running? Nice work, keep the updates coming!
