Tacked a piece of scrap in place to check for the bag placement. Looks like at ride height the bag will be right at 6.5".

GRIMSS · 07-19-2009, 04:42 PM

Nother step closer to having the rear suspension rapped up. Worked on the bag mounts today.

GRIMSS · 07-19-2009, 04:44 PM

Here's the rear tucking almost the axle.

Driveway Dreams · 07-19-2009, 04:50 PM

Wow!!!!! I can't get enough of your build. It is coming along great. What are you cutting your brackets and stuff with? They look really clean.

Edit: I just went back to the first posts and saw the parts picture with the bag brackets and stuff in it. So, I answered my own question.

Went with a Miller 211. For what I'm doing and plan to do it seemed to be a good choice for me. If need anything larger got a stick welder to take care of that.

hotrodrookie · 07-26-2009, 11:50 PM

Sweet, That should be a good versatle machine.

Me Too!

I had one like that but space considerations made me switch to the basic Harbor Freight blu welding cart. Gave my old one to a guy with plenty of room for the cart. Dang, that makes it sound like giving away a dog. LOL.
