Steroid Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 A packed garage is a HAPPY GARAGE ! ! ! Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Indeed my garage is packed. Looks like it is because of the rear end being torn down. Ok picked up some metal & axle tabs & got busy again today. Cut & welded front crossmember in place... i partially boxed this side in for a later surprise ;) shortened the other 2 gas tank mounts... & notched out the bed supports so the tank will sit 1 inch higher... Also cut off the old upper shock crossmember, the upper bag mounts will be cut off of that & re-used. BTW i love my sawzall & grinder.:sneaky: Quote Link to comment

Steroid Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Mark???? Is that chain going to be hooked to an ANCHOR???? Because an anchor would sure make a nice emergency brake!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 hey mark, dont forget to reinforce the the bed mounts where they are welded to the frame. the ones that have the crossmember on them. on my buddies luv, we put the upper 4 link bars on the bed mounts and the welds that hold the bed mounts to the frame broke. so just a heads up. anyways, it lookin good man! can wait to see that ass on the ground!

Phlebmaster Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Nice work PAC!! I can't wait to see what you do next. :D Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Nice work, are you gonna plate the joint at the frame the same way you plated the joint on the notch? Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 2eDeYe;96581'']Nice work, are you gonna plate the joint at the frame the same way you plated the joint on the notch? You read my mind Steve. Its already plated from the old C notch so ill add a section that'll overlap the weld. When i cut out the frame section i was kinda tense :unsure: There will be more bracing welded in when i do my "secret mod" which does include the chain :blink: Quote Link to comment
