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
Looks like it is all there. What about the front spindles and the rear end housing? What color are you going to use?
I forgot to ask, are you going to bolt the complete assembly back together and not have any welded/rivet'd cross members? Are you going to use grade 8 fasteners?

Re: Project: Recycle
I guess the 'usual' is the front splash pan, shock x-member, & Panhard bar x-members remain in place even when stripped down for PC-ing.
Since I had to re-work each of the rear x-members & the front splash pan was in the way of some frame tweaks, everything had to come out. I thought about the re-assembly process & the 'pros/cons' of just using nuts/bolts or if welding would be necessary. I haven't decided one way or another but I'm always open to others experiences.

Re: Project: Recycle
Bolting it back together shouldn't be a problem. Of course I'm sure you would be using grade 8 hardware and squaring it up. You wouldn't want to be welding on it after powder coating anyway

There's still more to do so there will be a 2nd PC load. The T/A x-member is yet to be finalized (always used 1pc driveshafts & Porter has got me convinced a 2pc is the better way to go this low). Once everthing is reassembled, I'll be able to finish up the trans x-member. After that, both will get coated along w/any other 'forgotten' items. The spindles, calipers, & a-arms will be epoxied.

Re: Project: Recycle
It works pretty darn good.
The current ride height is screwing w/my view when backing (I can't see the end of the trailer @ all) & it's a thirsty SoaB. But, since there's no payment, I'll live w/it until the LS swap. I just got home from the shop. It's been a long, but productive day ![]()

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

In the interim, we dropped the t-gate. I'm always nervous about that decision though.... Thanks for the suggestions guys!

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?
