Re: Project "Bagging Rights"

Engine and trans are done, just missing some accesory stuff. The brown cap isn't staying either.
Made up some stands so it can sit in the corner for awhile.

Decided to do a 2" notch in the rear frame for the axle. I took the bumpstops off the axle and made a slot in my notch piece so they would push in. If I need them I'll use them, if I want more low I'll take them out.

Picked up this super nice bench seat, I will almost feel bad reupholstering it.

Modified jeep shaft, s-10 manual steering box, and my chrome column is just about done.

And because I do everything backwards, this is out now haha

I met a guy who had shaved his bed trim, and I liked it. I'm thinking about doing this.

And I am in love with this. Atleast 95% of it. Love it.

Re: Project "Bagging Rights"

Looks like somebody's been busy. There,s a pic on my photobucket link of a blue elky that has the factory bedtrim blasted, tackwelded, & final bonded with 3-m automix, then molded in. Just giving you a 2nd option. There was a hint or ghost shadow during peak heat of the day that went away later. Thinking of doing mine oneday , but automix only so no stitch weld ghostshadows.
Another possible suggestion, I resculptured my seat foam to look like bench seats. Also cut out upper seat frame section from a Lexus ls 400 & installed it with sheetmetal screws to my set frame ( to not have to weld) To have modern symetrical 2 post headrests. People always ask where I got the seat from. It's stock.
Keep up the good work.

Re: Project "Bagging Rights"

Column is almost done and I like it, through the dusty window pic.

Cut off the factory spring mount and the bumpstop mounts, welded on new airbag mounts.

All new bearing and seals in the rear along with a 3.73 gear set.
