Plus , if I use the AD battery lid I can have one on eash side to match.

That makes sense. I figured the flat stock was the pivot.

Kim,
You put the thought in my head, that I could put it anywhere. With your long rod MC.

plausible deniability by lack of knowledge

If u know and the wife asks you, you will be in a world of hurt. The good answer is "i dont know how much I have spent."

[Larry Lindley]

Well a little done today. Fabbing sure takes time. Nowhere near where I wanted to be.

[_Ogre]

ingenious how you used the original mc
one of those ''DOH!" why didn't i do that moments

[shadow1967]

Well the rear suspension is mounted up. I'm missing 2 front bolts so we welded it to the frame, till they come. It's time to get this thing running. Hope to have it plumbed(brakes, fuel and air) by sunday. With the drive shaft loops as well.

[Kim57]

You're making good progress. The frame looks sweet.

Got some more done today, BUT my goal of Aug 25 is dwindling. Fab work, really is work! I now, I now more pics, less talking.

[Chevette]

It is a lot of work when you start from scratch like you did. It sure is looking good though. Thank God for plasma cutters. Good luck on your build.

[shadow1967]

Finished up a few more things, but the list seems endless......

[Kim57]

You're doing a great job with the pics. Very detailed.

Tunnel is starting to take shape. Dads Idea!

How much horsepower will schedule 40 pvc hold?

[OrrieG]

Only table I could find show 20 to 400 gallons per minute for 4" pipe depending on friction head and pressure. I could not find a converter from gallons per minute to horse power. My non-scientific guess is "not much" or just about as much cooling capacity I am getting out of my 4" pvc ac compressor!

Upper portion of tunnels tacked need to make side pieces to repair top support. And some goodies came yesterday.

Just was reading some post I had missed while trying to make the show. Do you really need AC in Idaho? Or is that for trips? and I'm sure that 4" tube would bring in alot of air, if you stick it out the window at 60mph.
