Solo Automotive - Mazda Starter Kit.

Chafin, yes I would need some wheels to roll on till I figured what I am going to run on this. As I said they are yours, just waiting on you. I enjoy helping people make nice rides so just let me know if you change your mind so I can find another home for them.

As for the cowl, my dad owns a fiberglass shop, mainly producing aftermarket and original pieces for the pontiac fiero, () they take that car as serious as the B-series community, so we discussed the idea of using the sonoma hood as a plug for making a mold of just the scoop. Then pulling a part and seeing what it would look like on the mazda, making it fit right and then producing it. It is a lot of work and a little bit of expense to do it right but as I stated before this is a slow and low project. Not in a big hurry and I want as much of it done right as I can do. If anyone would be interested in a hood scoop like that give me some feedback and that way I can decide if I need to make it able to pull a couple of parts for me or if I should make it able to reproduce for the community. There is no way to know the final cost of it till I pull one and see how much material and how difficult the mold ends up being. let me know,
thx

worked a little on it today. almost done cutting. still need a little more on the uca braket and need to remove the un-needed brackets and stops on the lca.

What a small ass world... I emailed you about that truck a few times trying to snag some parts off of it. I had no idea you used to run solo, I used to go up there all the time. I will have to come over sometime and check out the truck!

Sure. Swing by anytime. Or give me a call. 740.706.0000.

lookin good man keep up the good work

does anyone have or know someone who has a used 4 link that I can purchase? Ive looked thru most of the resent post that someone was selling air ride stuff and haven't found anything.

As I understand hes selling his.

Thanks Joe but I already checked with him, gone.
Well Ive go the bug. I'm headed into the in-laws to work on the truck. hope to have pics by the end of the day. Nothing to do around here except work on trucks since it wont quit snowing!

sounds good cant wait to see todays work

ok, im stuck. Have I forget something. Im ready to tack in the brakets so I went ahead and put it together just to get an idea of travel and where exactly to put the brakets and I noticed that even with no suspension, it doesn't lay anything. Its not even close. Is there more that I need to take off?

in this last picture, do i need to take off the long torsion bar that goes towards the middle of the truck?
I hate to ask as Im sure it is an obvious answer but it will be easier to know rather than experimenting with it myself, as Ive never done a truck like the mazda before. Ive noticed some people just cut it off right outside of the LCA?
Thanks to any and all that can help.
