Yeah I remember Jade Warrior and have an old photo of it somewhere. Going nearly 200mph with your chin 12 inches off the deck must be quite mind blowing I would think.

When are you going to start putting all the components back together so that when the shell comes back you can put all the major parts on. Built the whole dash up off the can and put it in, in one like at the factory. Engine k-frame and front suspension all in one and rear axle with wheels and leaf springs all in one. Have you got all the upholstery ready to put the interior back together. The NATS is fast approaching.

At the moment every single nut and bolt is slowing being sandblasted and span in a cerement mixer full with petrol and small stones. Then will take all parts that need to plated to the platter's.

upholstery i have nothing

Also engine i have nothing

With regards to the nats its not going to be ready

Leaf springs

so

I should wrap them in plummers tape.

Im not

After loads of testing with powdercoating and its felxness i think it will work

so

Spilt the springs sandblasted all

then painted with a hightemp primmer

then powdercoated

Q. Spring clips or (rebound clips) i can only find mild steel ones without rubber.

Where what and how should i use ??? stainless with rubber protection's would be lovely but where can i buy ???

Great work there WiLL!

Those leaf springs don't look original to me?
Built a few sets and they look different.
No holes in the ends of the leaves for the plastic sliders???
Also the spring clamps ar in the wrong places too.
They must have been rebuilt at some time with new parts, non Mopar?
