throttlejunkie · Feb 16, 2014

Not sure if I missed it, what size links did you go with?
Build is looking killer!!

2.5" 7075 al lowers from wide open design, 1.750x.120 wall cromo uppers.

Working on all the small stuff.
Foot bar for passenger side.

TMR spring loaded dodad for the passenger grab bar.

Still waiting for dirt bike grips to show up, and kicked to the right so passenger arms stay out of the business side.

Modified the toyota pedal arm and built new pedal.

Hadley working on the side skins.

Still needs a little trimming and all the corners rounded.

Thats a good start, it does have some similar lines. I can't wait to get this one done and start mine.

I need to get back to finishing it. It's been sitting in the corner like at that stage since the end of august last year. I'm dying to get back on it.

We had bought a 180 in al for the intake but it was to large so I ended up making one today from 9 18degree cuts and two 9 degree pieces of left over straight tube from the headers.

You not worried about using HREW right here? Gonna take a beating.

Hadley being a Cat service guy is used to a heavy belly pan and with a 114"wb and 18" belly we decided to take the weight penalty down low and will be running a 1/4" steel belly pan. I think it should hold up fine but time will tell.

Man there's a lot of welding left to do.

Yea will be a bit, I'm a firm believer in doing full mockup then break down for weld out. So far we have only had to make very small changes and almost done. Besides i'm a quick migga. :afro:

Technician · Feb 20, 2014

I figure 2 days and the whole thing will be fully welded.

We will see, lot of joints.
My kid was helping to some cardcad work for the console today.

Meanwhile since I don't have a lathe and this driveshaft part needed .020 taken off it I hand spun it in the bench grinder then touched it up with a flap wheel.

Perfect slip fit in the 2.250 pillow block.

Pressed drive coupler on and assembled the rest of the front shaft parts to get a length to cut the tube for the midshaft. All the driveshaft stuff is 1410 spicer.

Far as we got on the shaft tonight, Hadley also got some parts in. New harness's from WOD.

Some of the plumbing started to show up also, russel fuel line adapters to clip on factory rails and convert to an.
