Re: Project: Recycle
I guess it's time for another update. I'm really, actually, no bs-ing, closer to getting it PC'd.
I got off work yesterday & spent the day re-stripping the rails & various x-members to try & get any residual grinding gouges out so that when sand-blasted, everything has a nice, smooth finish for the PC. About 3/4 through stripping the pass side frame rail, my DA took a crap. I've done this drill before (get 6hrs non-stop work time but spend most of it chasing parts/tools) & it was frustrating so I kept it going forward.... The chassis is no longer a chassis. I had that sucker 100% apart in a little over an hour (working solo). The rails & rear end housing are still in the shop (need to finish that pass side rail) but everything else was loaded into the dually & is waiting for the trip Monday to the PC shop. I hope to convince 'her' of the need to allow some late-night shop time tonight so I can get things loaded first thing tomorrow am.

Re: Project: Recycle
Just got home from the shop.
Both the main rails are void of gouges, rust-pits, & production scars. Everything has a nice consistent 60 grit finish so the rails should look fairly smooth after blasting & color. Tomorrow morning, I'll hook up the trailer & head back to the shop to load them up (I already have all the other parts & x-members @ the house). After everything is in the same place, I'll take an inventory to make sure nothing was over-looked. If the parts match my 'list', I'll stop by 2 different PC shops for quotes. Price pending, I'll leave the parts @ one of them. I would put up some pics but my computer crashed & I'm using a borrowed laptop. Hopefully by the time the parts are done, I'll be able to start loading up some pics again.

Re: Project: Recycle
there these backupcams out there mounted in the numberplatesuround , havent checked prices lately but they where reasonably priced i might be a solution to the backup problem if you can get it either to look underneat the trailer or between the trailer and the car on top of it

Re: Project: Recycle
I'm doing the dually like my other 'tow-trucks' before it. Spindles & cut a coil up front w/flip kit & driveway built AOL set-up. Think budget.... I would love to do Ride Techs Air bar set-up but can't justify the coin for the amount of drop (if I could even find that amount of coin).
I've looked for suspension info on that HHR shop dually but have only found a few pics. Anybody know if any info on specifics are online?
