Thanks guys

Well made some progress last night and today. Got the frame gussets welded last night, and today i got the motor in place. Had to make the motor mount tabs and the tranny crossmember. Also picked up a new rearend housing for it since the old one is to wide.

Heres the pictures...

Gussets welded (Lots of welding)...

Tranny crossmember i fab'd up...

New rearend housing, still needs cleaned up (about 4" narrower then the other one)...



What do you think?

nice work so far. keep up the good progress.

Well Got the housing cleaned up and the leaf spring mounts removed, and got the axle set in place. Had to switch back to my old 3-link wishbone setup since there wasnt enought room for the parrallel 4-bar. So i got both the lowers tacked in.

Heres the pictures...



Lower mounts (nut is welded on the back of the tab)

Cut the gusset out of the upper wishbone because the metal i used for it was pitted. Thinking of chroming the link bars....





Thanks Justin

looking sick keep up the gnarley work
