![]() On a more serious note, I did start on the chassis upgrades today. I needed to address the potential problem of the front end bottoming out. I don't want to spend all this time making the undersides all spiffy and then scrape something and mess it all up. So I had this 2x6 laying around and swivel castor and thought, "that would make a great anti-scrape device". So I built it. Before replying, please remember to keep any comments or remarks birthed out of a covetous heart to yourself, so that you won't feed other members' jealousy and covetousness. Behold. ![]() Actually, I pulled the front suspension today and needed a way to roll the frame around temporarily. ![]() ![]() ![]() I also got the front bag plates mounted and test fit the bags. I should be picking up an extra pair of lower control arms this week so I can have a pair to cup for the lower bag mounts. I'm going to go ahead and do all of the fabrication work and get everything mocked up before I prep and paint the frame and chassis parts. That way I'll know that everything fits and won't have to do any drilling/grinding/bending to get the parts to fit for the final assembly. I'm also thinking about re-notching the lower control arm cross shafts to move them forward as much as possible for more castor. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford a set of tubular control arms but I'll make the best of what I have for now. ![]()
