I have to really watch on this build. attention to detail is the key.

Lets hope i dont have to change it. I hate cutting out a weld and not destroying parts.

That's called [THE LEARNING CURVE] and everyone has FUBUs!!

 

[RESINATOR]

A good tack weld is much easier to "adjust" when at this stage of the build.

 

[cooter]

Got my fingers crossed.

 

[RBeck]

Yep! You don't destroy parts if you tack first.

 

[cooter]

Im pretty sure of the location. Lol. Im good with a cut off wheel also

 

[RESINATOR]

I get that, but most people would be more willing to correct/adjust the location of a bracket if it were easily removable rather than fully welded. It also will keep the area from distorting if welded and cut off and re-welded like a rear end housing.

 

[cooter]

I hope i dont have to move it. Yall got me scared now.

 

[cooter]

Next step is to mount double RR brackets to frame attach front axle and then get rear axle brackets located. Rear axle should be fun since i dont know what im doin.

Your build is so impressive. I was called out of town about a week after I picked all my stuff up. It's killing me not being able to do anything. Hopefully this weekend I'll get the rearend all welded up in partially in place. Nice work Cooter.

As I'm sure you're begining to discover ,sometimes it takes longer to build a jig/fixture to position a part than it does to weld it...do you have your frt &rear axles & brackets ,tires &wheels [or at leas know the dia.'s] ??
dave
are you going to extend the rear radius rods??
