bonvo Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 how are you gonna make that bar removeable? Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 how do those connectors come apart? i dont see it sliding apart like that... both those breakdown points would have to be parallel with eachother to slide out like that... Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 The tube is in one plane. It will come forward when unbolted. Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Got most of the fab out of the way as far as the frame goes. Dug in to the timing chain this weekend. Thanks to Shonuff, everything went pretty quick. I still have to put it back together, but I have everything ready to go so the motor should be back together tonight. Pics... BTW there was a bit of a rattle on startup, I think we found the problem :lol: ..and for those that were asking about the engine bay crossmember. Easily removed with an allen wrench and leaves plenty of room to work. ...and what happens when your buddy helps out. Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Finished up the rear mounts and splashed some paint on the frame. Got the axle put together, one of my ubolts is to short so I need to get that remade. Picked up an early 720 steering column, should bolt right up for the most part. Still need to do the radiator, tie rod and drag link, brake lines and fluids. Should be done just in time to load it up on Thursday and go camping for a week. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 There will be pics of the camping trip, right? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Of course :) Got my radiator modified. Step one: Destroy a perfectly good radiator to figure out how it is put together :lol: Step two: Pick up another radiator at pick n pull and be more carefuller this time. Step three: Modify the new outlet to match the one that was cut out. Step four: Solder shit Step five: Enjoy new clearance. Tonight will be steering. Then it's time to make sure all the bolts are tight and everything has fluids. Quote Link to comment
