He got a lot done this weekend, although this part never looks like much. Got all of link mounting points placed and tacked. From here it'll really start looking like a car fast.

The trans adapter was flipped and mounted from above.

TDW · Sep 13, 2010

Front upper link mounts placed on the housing.

He machined and welded spacers to the link tabs to act as misalignments.

Passenger upper link to motor mount clearance.

Frame mount end of the links.

Rear axle link mounts placed.

Frame mounts tacked in place.

Another.

And another.

Approximate location of the seats.

Trans cooler.

Knocked the shine off the wheels.

To get the diff closer to the tire. The driveline angle is still pretty good. we will see if it makes a difference:stirpot:.

The links are all old used parts used for mock up. When complete it will have heat treated Spidertrax links.

It's a modified Advance Adapters unit. Just their standard TH350 to Atlas adapter.

i fought heating problems with a angled radiator and it was no where close to that.

I had cooling issues for a long time too. Mounted a Taurus fan and never had another problem. My radiator is about the same angle as the one in the picture, maybe a bit flatter.....hijack off.

My tcase is an atlas 2, there no need to support it at the tail shaft.
