Re: Project: Recycle
It the maint shop @ my job. Nice stuff; but even after 22+yrs of employment, I have to semi-covertly work on my 'goverment projects' which usually means deep nights.

Re: Project: Recycle
Funny, but true. I can give my friends/family a tour of the plant where I work. You can see everything except the main area where I work..... it's pass-key access only (even for internal employees).
The funny part is I'm nobody..... Just an average maunfacturing employee.

Re: Project: Recycle
More progress but no pics yet.
I set-up my extra swb frame w/a DM main crossmember on my trailer. It's just the main rails, front DM x-member, & T/A x-member sitting on some 2x4's & spare wheels. This allowed me to put the sbc/700r4 in place for determining the tranny x-member needs. I have several x-members for consideration & decided to use an ECE x-member as I feel it will offer better torsional rigidity vs. a tubular unit (it bolts to the top & bottom of each frame rail vs. just the sides). Because the DM relocates the drivetrain slightly, I'll need to cut the mount 'flange' off the x-member, flip the x-member 180°, & re-weld the mount flange. This offered the best alignment of the 'puzzle pieces' & should work well. I'm actually going to place the mount flange w/a little fudge factor in the dimensions & use a shim for dialing in the level (to set the carb flange @ 0°). I ran out of time tonight so I'll try & get @ it earlier tomorrow. I had to wrap the drivetrain in towels, cardboard, & plastic to keep moisture @ a minimum until I can get it back in the garage tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers we won't see any sudden 'scattered showers' before then....

Re: Project: Recycle
Scoti
For the front shock brackets you got from RideTech, how thick is the material they used? After this past weekend, I think that I might shoot for getting mine rolling/driving for the spring show. Thanks,

Re: Project: Recycle
He "said" he was going to go ahead and powder coat it. Lets hope that's still the plan.

Re: Project: Recycle
Dang, you guys sent me to the 2nd page. Where's the love??
Ok..... I'll make a small update to keep things on track. I got the sbc/700r4 into the spare frame in order to verify the driveline angles & needed some pinion shims so I could accurately set the trans mount height. I got the shims in today so I'll try & get some time on it this weekend. Baseball (Rangers are in the play-offs) has been occupying some of my spare time so until the 'fat lady sings', I might be going to the home games. Oh.... the other thing taking up my time (& thoughts) is my new to me dually that I swapped my 74 for. Although not a project, I'm getting a few 'essentials' to make it unmistakenly 'mine' . . . ......

Re: Project: Recycle
I think the dually is going to be sweet, once you work your magic on it. I am looking forward to seeing that. Also looking forward to seeing the '64 rolling down the street. It is going to be amazing.

Re: Project: Recycle
The 64 on the trailer (prior to it's maiden voyage), behind the dually should be an avatar worthy shot.
