Re: Project: Recycle
My measurements from last night were accurate.
I cut the flange portion (where the rubber trans mount/bushing sits) off of the ECE trans x-member today @ lunch & cleaned up the welding slag. I grabbed a 4x6 piece of .250" plate & tacked it in place (now on the 'bottom' of the square tube vs. the 'top'). I installed the x-member & lowered the drivetrain. With a 3/16" 'shim', I'm @ 0.1° off from level (measured @ the intake/carb mounting pad). I put the level/angle finder on the trans yoke & I'm getting 2.7°. Another thing I verified is the ECE T/A x-member d.shaft loop isn't going to be tall enough to clear the shaft (needed the drivetrain in to 100% verify). Looks like I'll need to increase the height an inch or 2. I think I'm good to go but will confirm a couple of questions first. If my answers are what I expect (and I can't believe I'm about to say this), the chassis will come apart for some blasting & color.....

Yeah, I forgot. I found an extra spray can trigger so let me know when the big day is.

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
If you decide to paint instead of powdercoat let me know, I've got a few connections on stuff.

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.

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.

Sounds like a lot of progress just working solo. Looking forward to seeing it back from the coater.
