giggity giggity!

 

im tired of hittin refresh man..get on it brah

 

i didn't waste much time this morning...



frame prepped





one of my helpers



plated start of the frame


my welder doing his best



test fitting some of the hoop



axle under it!



drivers side shock/coil hoop done!


passenger side hoop almost done!



that is pretty much it for the night. got distracted a few times and had a few other things to do today, but overall not bad since ive never done any of this stuff before and neither has my dad.

 

ahh, the never going back stage.(i.e. the frame all cleaned up)

kick *** progress. just gotta throw in some coils, link arms and steering, then shes rolling?

 

looks good so far

 

looks good.

is your dad the welder?

 

for the most part yeah.

almost done with both coil mounts

 

yep

 

 

looks really good zach..really good..looks like its goin well too..you planned it out very well did a great set up cant wait to see it done.

 

Looks great man

 

thanks man i tried! lol

 

Can you tell me how this truck is parked in your garage though. I am still confused how its in there.

 

is it next? lol

 

nah that is my other DD i bought

 

nice zach

 

you gunna pop some gussets on that drop bar off the hoop..

i kinda dont understand how the coil adjuster thingy is gunna rid on it..but i guess ill have to wait and see

 

oh yeah prolly another days worth of work on the hoops.

might have to cut a big notch in the frame where the coils are too, idk yet. might have some serious issues with that. thus why it took us so long to figure out how to do it.

we really didnt get moving on the truck until 1 this afternoon.

 

lemme ask you this..

could you of angled the hoop away from the frame like have it start and move it out..but wouldnt that throw your coils towards the end othe axle..and you already had your buckets in place..

i think i answered my question..

but thats how i learn (:

 

no the buckets on the axle are already as far out as they go.

 

so which means you couldnt kick the hoop out to get it away from the frame cuz it would end up to far on the axle..

 

nice start Zach. Can not wait to see it done.

Chad

 

looks darn good! a SAS could be done in a weekend if you prepare correctly and wait to start when you get ALL the parts you need....

 

That's good progress for one day Zach!

But why are you talking about notching the frame? Are you thinking the coils are going to hit the frame under heavy articulation?

 

Nice progress zach!!!!
