Rear suspension going back together.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

can just make out the notch in the spring plates, went 5/8 to go with my 930 cv's.

POR15 is still wet so will get better pics later. Still need to figure out where to set the preload before I bolt it up.

One side bolted up, the other side should go much eaiser tomorrow.

will have half a rolling chassis by tomorrow night, and got the bushing in for the front beam so the other half should get done by the weekend if all goes well.

I'm curious to see what them 30's look like all around. $10 says you gotta pound the pan lip behind the tires for lockout turning.

You just lost that 10 bucks! I got a plasma cutter and more sheet metal I can clerance that easy if need be, so no pounding. Pay up!

But you may be right it might need some attention.

Had time to assemble the front suspension, added in adjusters and tacked up the hook and rod travel limeters. Tomorrow I have to pull it apart to weld the hook and rods then paint and it will be ready for final assemble of the front suspension. I am confident I will have a full rolling chassis by this weekend.

All done, ready to assemble tomorrow.

Starting on the body today, first up cut the hole for the sun roof.

warwgn · Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2015 6:16 pm Post subject:

Well did not go as planned, got side tracked patching holes and finishing up the fire wall.

the bottom of the pan is turning out well, still need to finish the rocker panels while it's on the side then will get to the sun roof later in the week.

warwgn · Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2015 9:02 pm Post subject:

Templates are made for the driver side to box in the rocker panels. Now just need to turn cardboard into metal and weld it up.
