Thanks Mike... trying to figure out how to get her back home... I don't think Jan and I can get it off a trailer and back into the garage by ourselves... It was hard to get it on the trailer with just the two of us...

Also it is suppose to start raining on Thursday and rain through Tuesday..

Re: Project "Class Act"
I roughly installed the CPP Tubular A-Arms... Have some cutting and welding to do unless I can come up with a cross member that is more friendly to the large cross shafts...

Re: Project "Class Act"
Spring... The Cross Shaft on the uppers are to large to clear the Crossmember... There is a reinforcement spot that is in the way... no big deal... Easy Fix... I just need to notch it...

Re: Project "Class Act"
I am at kind of a holding point with her again... I need to get some money coming in again so I can get the New Trailing arms, 4/6 Suspension, 4 wheel disc setup and the Fuel tank... Once I get all that then I can start test fitting everything welding up un-necessary holes along with removing all of the exhaust hangers and other stuff off the frame... Then send it to the frame shop to make 100% sure there are no "tweaks" that need to be addressed... then I will bring it back home and start finishing out the frame to a perfect glossy finish...

Well I just described probably my next 2 years... LOL

Re: Project "Class Act"
Update... Class Act is on hold for now... I need to save up to get the rest of the suspension, Trailing Arms and brakes so I can finalize test fitting before I start finishing the frame and prepping it for paint... Keep tuned in...
