Thats the only thing I could think about when I saw this picture lol.

 

Heard you like welds?

So we put a weld on your weld so you can weld while welding.

 

^ yup lol.

I didn't bother to caption it. Its funny enough by itself.

 

The shock mounts are welded to plate but they still need welded to the lca just sayin

 

We know lol.

It was a perfect opportunity for a joke though, and I couldn't help myself.

 

I'm pretty sure Taylor welds just about everyday.
and i used to Fabricate for Roush. I've got some weldin experience under my belt too.

 

Yall suck...

and i like my mig with a side of tig'd dimes.

goes great with the fox shocks! PS love them. jumped it today, that was alot more fun with so much rear travel!

 

No video of said jumping?

 

nope was by myself. ill keep it under wraps till silverlake. :)

 

Darn.

 

picked up the rear shocks.



8's vs 14's

 

any reson you went with the 2.0" over the 2.5"?

 

cost. 2.5's were 448 each, 2.0's were 270 each w/ resi. it would have cost me $1012 for 2.5 and it was only $610 for 2.0.

considering its a DD that sees sand maybe once a month, it was a easy decision.

 

It is good that you can prioritize like that. Me on the other hand, I tend to focus on the "what if" scenarios and talk myself out of value engineering options.

 

You didnt want to rebuild some used 2.5s? cost was also a factor for me and ended up going that route.

 

i honestly just like starting out fresh. ad with shipping it would have cost near the same for 2.5's as it would new.

tonight the other 2.0 goes in, and monday the rear axle.

list to do
New e-fan install and make shroud
Mount resi's
drivers side 2.0
expo axle install. rear brakes, lines, locker, regear
becage build, mount 2.0 shocks and resi's and plate around shocks to have clean "finish"
rear tube bumper finish (still working on the idea for that)
paint bedsides (quoted $400 to do)

i think thats it. might do a oil change and give it a wash before hand.

 

Finished the otherside of the front end last night, and took it for a little jump. love how its handling! Cant wait to get the rear shocks in, the back end is currently a bit squirrely with the rancho's and deavers.




and check out the bastard of a hole i get to work with on my filler neck...

 

Is that your z06 in the pictures above?

 

Nope, thats my fathers toy. 07, C6.R. My toy is the honda cbr600rr you can see in the pic of the 8's vs 14's

 

What makes it a c6r?

 

honestly, i couldnt tell ya. i know the C6.R is the racecar, so my guess is some motor work to replicate the LS7.R setup. the owner before us used to run it on the track.

 

Thats pretty cool, super lumpy cam in it?

 

not overly, sounds deeper, and just drives different of the other z06 ive run.

 

What a day... started at 11am, just got home, its now 11:44.

axle is swapped, new seals, had to use the stock bearings and stockpinion seal. the kit that was ordered didnt fit the pinion i had... OH WELL.

Axle is locked, new brakes are on, there is a bit of work to do before its ready, but ill do it tomorrow after work. What a long day....here the only shots i have.

 

getn there man
