Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"

I finally finished the first notch. It took me a long time to get it right. Hope the second one is easier than this one was. Should be, now that I know what to do.

Rear centered in notch pattern. That's why It's a good idea to put blocks and trackbar on first. To make sure everything will align.



Notch cut and ground to shape, then a flap disk to make it smooth.



Primered notch.



Painted Notch.



Don't forget the back side of the notch, it needs primer and paint as well. I didn't take a painted pic.



Notch clamped in place.



Notch bolted in place.



And the mess I have made.



After bolting everything up, the notch fit pretty well. I had to do a couple of bolt hole modifications...Just throw the instructions they give you away.

I think I have used almost all tools at some point so far.
