gtxsmitty · 01-29-2012, 08:12 PM

Thanks dude!
Heres a couple more

Sat the motor and tranny in to build the tranny crossmember, and the rear end showed up so I sat it in place for visual progress until I strip it.

gtxsmitty · 02-01-2012, 04:03 PM

tranny x-member started

xceed · 02-08-2012, 09:32 PM

man your engine is so clean !

gtxsmitty · 02-28-2012, 06:29 PM

Thanks dude! I still have to prep and paint the intake manifold, and mount the Weber carb (I have to order haha)
The accessory brackets and pulleys are powder coated to match too I just don't want to risk scratching them during mock up.

SO i've finished the tranny x-member and mount, worked on 2 different cab mount designs to almost completion and am still pondering if I am satisfied with both the look and structural integrity. This week at work I am making my jig for the lower control arms and then building my new lowers so when my yota drop spindles shop up next weekend I might have some sort of suspension looking progress on the front end.
I'll post more pics when there is more visual progress.

Do you have any sort of wheel that you can mock into place so you know for sure that you have it set up right? I know a measuring tape can do it, but nothing like a real wheel to know you are right.

LastSin · 03-02-2012, 08:06 PM

i think hes got atleast 3 different wheels he can use for mock up.

gtxsmitty · 03-13-2012, 02:35 AM

yeah, but the set of 18's I was waiting to show up that I was gonig to buy were sold so now I'm down to 2.5 sets of wheels to mock up with lol. At least I only need them for air bag mock up. I know 18's will clear to steer with control arms straight

gtxsmitty · 03-20-2012, 12:10 PM

Got the front clip z'd down and the front end lined up.

Red dime · 03-20-2012, 07:54 PM
