Very true for sure. I wish i could be driving it but its ok.

being new empty nesters its hard to adjust. We are still involved with the school sports but its our time now and i wanna play

 

I just read and got caught up on your progress. Great work. It's looking faster every day. It won't be too much longer till it will drive fast too.

 

Before i post this pic, everyone needs to know that im no professional fabricator and i hate my Miller 175 welder. Its the most inconsistent welder ive ever used. One minute its perfect, stop to repossition and its trash.....

cut out my lower plates for the CV front, cut and rotated the bushings then installed the plates. They are gusseted under the frame then one on the outter. Over all im happy

 

 

Got tired of chasing the pinion depth so i used my damn tool.....lol

 

Well you may not be a pro, but you do good work!

 

Not a master fabricator? It's a matter of "mind over matter". You've got the "mind" to figure a good way and Git R Done..........so it don't "matter".

 

Saturday Drove 200 miles one way to watch my boy play college football. Never gets old seeing my boys do well in life. Up early this morning and back on the Bump. Finished making all my gussets and welding in the brackets. After that i D-A sanded the front with 80 grit, sprayed Por-15 metal etch and now the frame is Por-15 inside and out from the firewall forward

 

Your build is looking good. Great tip on finding the center line for the CV. I'm starting my build very soon and will borrow that...

Pat

 

Sure looks good boxed in and painted.

 

No major updates. But today my steering stuff showed up. New plan is to pull the cab and bed. Box the whole frame, install the rear and put back together. Down fall is its already getting cold and windy

 

Ok ok

coudnt stand the thought of new parts just sitting around......soooo i braved the cold and wind. Reinstalled the front end and did the steering shaft

 

progress for sure

 

Looking good. What part number(s) did you buy for that shaft. I don't recall anybody ever posting it/them on here before.

 

here is the list
