Awesome build. I would love to find something like that around here for $600.

Very nice! Only recently have I started to appreciate Rat Rods. After my F350 restore I have a 69 VW Squareback that I'm going to do either a low & slow or rat rod theme.

Ok I was thinking about the short & smooth, but I havenīt made up my mind yet. The Posies are a bit more expensive?
Are you happy soo far with the posies I was debating whether to go with the mono leafs or multi leafs and decided on the multi I guess because I wanted more adjustability in height. I feel like the rear is a little tall still but I can always pull a leaf or two later on. |
BEAUTIFUL! Subscribed.

Looks like this is gonna be awesome when you get it on the road. Cool already, nice score!

made my own frame plates using some poster board templates then transferring it to some 1/8" plate material
i'm going to drill holes and weld in sleeves for 1/2" bolts through both sides of the frame for the motor crossmember http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/w...ordproject.jpg http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/w...102_172055.jpg |
Nice welds! This really makes me want to get an old truck.. I mean, it doesn't get much more simple then that.

a few more progress pics from over the weekend
made a patch for the fuel filler hole, i'm going to run a fuel cell in the bed, but with a twist, stay tuned for that also you can see where i took a big wire wheel to the cab floor and firewall, eventually going to paint it and dynamat the crap out of it so i don't have the steel drum effect going on when it's up and running http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/w...103_154155.jpg patched a section of the cab as well, had a few holes rusted through it http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/w...103_144023.jpg this was the old master cylinder reservoir access hole in the floor, going with a firewall mounted unit http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/w...103_211408.jpg and patched the fuel line hole in the cab http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/w...103_211424.jpg |
finished up the motor mount today
it all came out pretty good http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/1551/80gj.jpg i hadn't welded the flanged tube side to the bent tube in this pic yet, but I assure you i did after i will flip the bolts at final assembly so the threads are toward the motor http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/8066/6yrd.jpg inside of the frame ground flush for the crossmember http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/2866/mvyi.jpg outside of the frame i ground the outer ends of the sleeves after the picture to give more surface area for the washer http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3926/qx7t.jpg |
How much spring travel do you have left in the front? With the motor in? They are suppose to lower 3", right?
Looking good! |
