Holy Chit man!!! Pat got a picture of Franz welding!!!!… those are hard… for some reason, he hates us taking his picture.. 😎 😎 😎 Yet his international fan club loves em!!
We need more pictures.. More overlapping documentation and we need to be posting in all the current threads everyday. 😎 😎 It just makes sense. 😎 😎 😎
Shock mounts all figured out+tacked in place. Looking good on clearance and angles. Porsche 930 cv joints and stub axle mock-up.(thanks Pat) 6.5” of travel on the stock spring plates/stops. Lower shock mounts shortened 1.75”. The shock is square to the spring plate at full compression for progressive angle.
To repair the loose lower shock bolt holes, I trimmed and welded some Fox shock bushing adaptors. Should be stronger now.
Well Goddayum!!! I thought that was gonna be a huge pain in the ass!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Shit looks sooo sick… I heard it might come off that frame table today!! I guess it’s almost time to put that body back on!!! Mock up
We are going to drive this car before we paint it… then tear it 100% apart and detail the fuck out of it… 😎
Upper shock mounts.
Lower shock mounts.
I dunno what else to say about this… There is A LOT going on back there in the rear… 😎
Looks sick… nearly unduplicatable work, one of a kind.. the only one… 😎 😎 You would think that might be it for intense mock up and fab work.. but we have a mess load of batteries to hide too…. 😎
Killer project. We are lucky to have a patient customer like Dan for this one…. 😎 😎 😎
Yeah, ready to cut off of the frame table on Monday after a couple more welds. I ran out of steam on Friday night after fitting the second upper shock mount. It just need to be fully welded along with some tacks on the panhead seam that I heard pop while twisting it back to strait.
Finished welding today and separated from the frame table.
This is the Fun part now…installing parts and doing mock-up. I need to order some tires soon, and see what we can figure out for batteries.
cool stuff!!! This is going to be epic!! I just know it!! 😎 😎 😎
