Update:
Just more cleaning! Cleaning up the frame and doing a little undercoating. Cleaned up the wheels, and rubbed Gojo Pumice Hand Cleaner on her. If ya put Gojo on aluminum wheels it will help keep them from oxidising. Me and pops do this when our vechicles are being stored or sitting for a long time. Started cleaning a little under the hood as well! I have alot more photos to post pre-pro/street, and during the morf. Stay tuned! |

Just some pics of my truck pre-pro/street. I looked all over the place and I could not find anymore. I guess I lost them. The truck was red and white when I first got it in 1994. From the factory I found that it was forrest green and white. She will remain Yellow.

Just a sound clip of my ole 62. The engine needs a minor rebuild. Well maybe I will stroke her. The way the economy is looking I will just keep the motor I have in her. Click the link below:

Well fellas, I have not polished my anodized aluminum grille assembly yet. After looking closely inspecting it I decided to saturate it with WD-40 first. That took care of the oxidation. Little lesson from my Dad!
Here is what I have so far. |

More Pics of the anodized aluminum grille assembly.
What do you think fellas? |
Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread
That looks great:metal:

Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread
Looks good. You gonna paint the Chevrolet on the grill black?

Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread
Nah.....
I will just buy the Decals, and put them on there like I did on my original grille. :metal: |

UPDATE:
Well my father and I will be finishing the Rear Suspension on my '62 soon. I am going to use The Ladder Bar with Floaters and Leaf Springs in my application on my truck. I like the Triangulated 4 Links, but will just stick with the plan for now since I wont be Drag Racing! My dad will be helping with that since he just started his buisness. I will be posting Pics of the progression as we go! http://z3.invisionfree.com/Shadyside...showtopic=9105 How Ladder Bars Work: http://www.competitionplus.com/2004_...s/chassis5.jpg The Ladder Bar is a more sophisticated traction device because it serves as an extremely rigid, bridge-type truss that locates the rear axle housing directly to the chassis. With the axle housing held firmly in place, the torque applied to the differential is now transferred immediately through the Ladder Bars and into the chassis. By using the Ladder Bar to carry power to the chassis, the front end reacts by rising. As the front of the car travels upward, rapid weight transfer is created which "plants" the rear tires and propels the car forward. Housing Floaters Eliminate Suspension Bind: http://www.competitionplus.com/2004_...s/chassis6.jpg When using ladder bars with a leaf spring rear suspension, the axle housing cannot be rigidly attached to the springs. If it were, severe binding of the rear suspension would occur because the Ladder Bar and the leaf spring both travel in separate competing arcs. By allowing the housing to rotate and glide on the leaf spring, the Floating Housing Mount eliminates the bind and allows the Ladder Bars to work the way they were designed. Key Performance Benefits of a Ladder Bar or Fourlink Suspension Substantially improved traction control over existing suspension. Helps eliminate wheel hop, chassis "squat", and other adverse launch characteristics. Potential to shorten 60 ft. times through additional suspension adjustability even if car currently hooks well. Which one is best for my application? Selecting a fourlink or ladder bar suspension Benefits of a FOURLINK: The improved suspension adjustability is the greatest benefit and can shorten quarter mile times, or more specifically, 60 ft. times through fine tuning of the instant center to yield an optimal percentage of rise for varying track or traction conditions. They are well suited for short wheelbase cars that have minimal clearance from the rear axle centerline to the drivers seat. They are also well suited for Street Rod and Pro Street applications where uneven road surfaces are encountered which can be compensated for by running the bars in a parallel fashion. Benefits of LADDER BARS: A Ladder Bar suspension is a substantial improvement over a stock suspension that may utilize a pair of leaf springs or trailing arms and helps eliminate spring wrap-up on leaf spring equipped cars. It is quite easy to install and maintain, and typically requires fewer floorboard modifications. Adjusting a pair of ladder bars is quite easy due to the fact that there are only adjustment holes at the front of the bar. The remaining adjustment is in the lower portion of the bars and is for returning the pinion angle to its correct position at 1 to 2 degrees nose down in relation to the driveshaft. Still Uncertain? Maybe this will help. If your primary concern is to go drag racing and achieve the best possible 60 ft. times and possibly run te only adjustment holes at the front of the bar. The remaining adjustment is in the lower portion of the bars and is for returning the pinion angle to its correct position at 1 to 2 degrees nose down in relation to the driveshaft. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1228321620 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1228321620 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1228321774 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1228322151 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1228087389 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=315664 Gearz - Ladder Bar System (Season 2 Episode 5) |

Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread
Here are the Plans:
http://www.jegs.com/ Jegster Ladder Bar Crossmembers Jegster Ladder Bar Crossmembers #550-40010 Jegster ladder bar crossmembers are stronger per pound, because the included braces allow the main crossmember to be made of lighter material and allow increasing the weld area to the frame rails. Made from 1.5'' x .134'' wall mild steel tubing. 56'' Extra Wide Kit includes: (1) 56'' crossmember with 2-1/2'' center drop. (4) .188'' thick, 3-hole brackets with 3/4'' holes. (2) bracket webs. (2) 1-1/4'' x 18'' steel tube braces. (2) bolts and lock nuts. http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/500/550/550-40010.jpg Competition Engineering Ladder Bar Competition Engineering #247-2006 Increase traction by eliminating wheelhop Ladder Bar Features 33" long Best for 100"-115" wheelbases Made of 1" O.D./.156" wall tubing 3/4" forged rodends threaded directly into tubing Front end braces prevent rodends from bending & breaking Double 360° housing brackets withstand brutal loads http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/200/247/247-2006.jpg Competition Engineering Floating Axle Housing Mount Competition Engineering #247-2030 The use of ladder bars with a leaf spring rear suspension requires that the rear end housing not be rigidly attached to the leaf spring. This is because the ladder bars and the front half of the leaf spring establish two different and competing centers of rotation for the axle housing. A floating housing mount eliminates the binding and allows the housing to rotate properly. http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/200/247/247-2030.jpg |
