Always leave us hanging, waiting for what's next. Nice work on the rounded corners.

I seriously found this metal piece sitting at a side of a dumpster a few years back, that's the quality of parts we are dealing with here people

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
What, no bed frames? That looks like real steel!
Should hole the weight and torque very well. |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Coolski!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
just a suggestion. the way that you have the ears of the mount, up and down, will make for difficult removal in the future. if you turn the mounts on the frame 90 degrees, facing front to back, you will be able to remove the mount. FYI, love what you are doing and I get most all of the Vice Grip Garage type slang you use.
keep up the good work. following along for the craftsman ship you are putting it to it. |
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I'm totally enjoying your build!

you know what they say: "Grinder 'n Paint make me the welder I aint!"
seriously though, the back side had to be ground flat to mate with the trans bell housing plate, feel me? the front was ground to hide the crappy welds! |

well dem ISOFORMA USA Amazon vendor peeps did us no favors weldering that stud aka bolt in there like that for us, don't tell a.c.ward but gosh darn it he was right it was impossible to extract this contraption in it's current native state, so these bolts had to be liberated, thank you for using cheap easy to grind grade 5 hardware
and don't we all just luv buying new parts, just so that we have to modify 'em! |

what's that, you wanna take a closer look at the grinds, I mean the welds, ... sure
|
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I usually dont think far enough in my "projects"to plan ahead for remove-ability. then have to redo it, lol
your work looks good brother. |
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
It's looking really nice. I still say a mockup gas engine needs sat in there to make it look like there really is a gas engine in there. :lol: What Jeep do those mounts come from? That looks like a good option for many things.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Those batteries being almost flush with the top of the frame sure would leave a lot of room for a front trunk though. :lol: That Bluetooth steering is cutting edge. :lol: I think the funniest thing I saw from SEMA last year was a big lifted truck had no front drive shaft. Instead it had the Bluetooth logo cut out of aluminum and bolted to the yoke flange. You might even be able to incorporate something like that on this build.

Note: the sharp peak in the middle of the first battery pack is there because I have yet to cut holes for the engine crossmember bolts in the aluminum brackets, once I do that they will go down about 1 1/2" |

Your motor compartment is starting to fill up nicely. ;)
