Tinkertoy #2

[aw12345]

Another one scratched of the to do list

[aw12345]

Doing some farting around in the man cave :rofl:

Making some progress with the rear crossmember

My babies getting wet

Should be done with that tomorrow as well as finish all the welding on the back end. That should take care of about 90% of the frame/cage work.

Still needs a few odds and ends.

Then on to welding a high steer arm on the left knuckle and building a steering setup.

[aw12345]

Got the crossmember finished to my liking, just need to paint the other half of it

Should be more then strong enough to keep the rear suspension in place regardless of how carried away I get

[aw12345]

After some goofing around today, I went to the steel yard and bought some material to start building a fuel cell mount.

Made pretty good progress on it

[aw12345]

Got a little something in the mail today

Sucker is heavy

[aw12345]

Gonna have some fun the next couple of days, figuring out a way to tie this thing to the front axle

[Ogdak]

nice hardware

[aw12345]

Yup cool stuff, thanks Otto

My technical advisers coming to help and watching progress

but after a long conversation with those two, I formulated a plan to mount the steering ram. The big hurdle is to make the whole shebang or part there of removable to get access to the diffcover

[aw12345]

Good thing I listened to my technical advisers, damned dogs are a lot smarter than they look. As it stands I got the rough idea worked out on how to bolt the silver bullet under my buggy. Tube 1.75" x 0.25" tube is going to be welded to the axle housing (has enough clearance to remove the carrier easily). Then a plate is going to be welded to the diff cover and bolted to the tube and the axle tube. The steering ram mounts will be welded to this plate and that will conclude that dilemma.

Just tinkering along, looks like I am good on clearance

No worries if not tomorrow then next Sunday it's wheelin time, but you are right it has been to long.

Still I really enjoy tinkering on my buggy project

One more part put in it's permanent home

[aw12345]

To all my online Jeeping friends and anybody else that wanders in here merry Christmas and a happy New Year Y'all.

[aw12345]

Up in the air if this is going to grow on me. Going to take some doing to make it look good but it has possibilities and what elser oh yeah I like Jeeps lol

[aw12345]

It has merit

Farted around with a few more pieces to the puzzle. Has been since high school that I messed with a mill

[EJG]

4 slot grill

[aw12345]

[aw12345]

Starting to look like the real thing.

[aw12345]

Another puzzle piece done

[aw12345]

Started playing with the steering some more, making progress

[aw12345]

Left steering arm is finished, just need to make a spacer and source a long bolt. Did a bit of grafting on the grille and dreamed a Ricky racer dream :rofl:

[Ogdak]
