Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Thanks Mike... trying to figure out how to get her back home... I don't think Jan and I can get it off a trailer and back into the garage by ourselves... It was hard to get it on the trailer with just the two of us...

Also it is suppose to start raining on Thursday and rain through Tuesday..

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Shoot me a call tomorrow and Ill see if I can assist. Im booked until Wed next week right now.
Mike

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Looks niiiice.

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Well Class Act finally made it home Yesterday... taking the day off today as I hurt my back unloading her... I will start work on her Tomorrow... I should be getting the Tubular Upper and Lower Control arms today from CPP... Fed-X shows they are out for delivery...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

I roughly installed the CPP Tubular A-Arms... Have some cutting and welding to do unless I can come up with a cross member that is more friendly to the large cross shafts...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Looks great, are you running spring or bag arms? My cpp bag arms fit fine with no mods

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Spring... The Cross Shaft on the uppers are to large to clear the Crossmember... There is a reinforcement spot that is in the way... no big deal... Easy Fix... I just need to notch it...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

You must be missing the spacers that go behind the shaft. Ill go out in the garage and get a pic

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

These ones. Should clear those gussets just fine with the spacers

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Well there is the problem... They didn't send any spacers...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Went to work on the truck today and had the tailgate fall over and bash me in the head... Now I have a splitting headache and said the heck with it for the day...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

It was trying to knock some sense into you. :thud:

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

LOL... yeah Probably...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

I am at kind of a holding point with her again... I need to get some money coming in again so I can get the New Trailing arms, 4/6 Suspension, 4 wheel disc setup and the Fuel tank... Once I get all that then I can start test fitting everything welding up un-necessary holes along with removing all of the exhaust hangers and other stuff off the frame... Then send it to the frame shop to make 100% sure there are no "tweaks" that need to be addressed... then I will bring it back home and start finishing out the frame to a perfect glossy finish...

Well I just described probably my next 2 years... LOL

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

I hope you didnt dent the tailgate ,hope your head is better .

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

The Tailgate won on that... LOL... still have a good headache but it is getting better... I'm going go out work some on it tomorrow...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Hope your head's better, just jumped on the Advil train myself. Love the chromies and the stance on this one. Good luck today!

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Woke up this morning ok... a little ache but doing good... AWAY WE GO!!!!

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Update... Class Act is on hold for now... I need to save up to get the rest of the suspension, Trailing Arms and brakes so I can finalize test fitting before I start finishing the frame and prepping it for paint... Keep tuned in...
