Just wondering if you knew.

Notchbackgta,
Sorry for the delay in responding, but I'll be damned, I found my brackets, but cannot find the lock nuts anywhere.. I am sure they are in a bag inside a box on one of the shelves, but so far no joy!

Figures, as soon as you want something, it decides to hide out.
I'll keep looking as I am going to need them pretty soon!

Continued some work on GoldMember..

Moving to the rear, I began to disassemble the rear axle in prep for the C-Notch.. Well, Guess they don't make sockets as good as the old days, with a short breaker bar I ended up with these..


So out came the sawzall and plasma.
went from this:to this:



continued on attacking the rivets.. Man I hate Rivets!!
started with the bumpstop


I ended the day after getting the passenger side mocked in. I only need to finish drilling a couple mounting holes, and painting all areas that will be inaccessible.
Forgot to get pics after I started on the rivets.. I have I mentioned how much I hate Rivets!! Especially the ones I couldn't get the grinder on..

No worries. I am not that far along yet anyway.

I actually have so many parts around the house for 3-4 projects I lose them in the house all the time! Sometimes I look for hours to not find it and then have to go on to something else. But I usually find something I was looking for and earlier project, lol

Now that sounds all to familiar

Even though mine are all in the same shop, it's always a gamble whether or not they hide upstairs or down. Usually I think I am being good when I dedicate a shelf for a project, bag things, walk them upstairs and drop them on the right shelf. somehow that only lasts for a week or two. then the mixing magically begins.

Are you using dropped spindles and bags, or just running with the stock spindles with your AccuAir kit?

Hey Mr. D

I'm running dropped spindles and bags. I've got upper plates and stock upper a-arms, and Ride Tech tubular lower control arms.
