Download from the weekend.

Finalized the steering rack mount and got the power steering mocked up so the torque plate could be burned in. 

Tossed the fiberglass on for some motivation. OHHH YEAH!!!

A 30” tire on a wheel with 2 1/2” of backspacing  will juuust clear at full squat.

We will build it if it comes.

Pat, I was listening to Wheeer Walker Jr yesterday and couldn’t help think of you showing me all that. Hope you get up to some redneck shit today

appreciate that Scott. But I’m going to be running electric power steering…⚡️⚡️⚡️

Changed up my front upper beam supports. They first set had a slight bend, just inside the front fire wall, that I couldn’t come up with a good way to support. 

Ended up going straight, through the fender well instead of around. Started adding a few supports this morning. 

We will build it if it comes.

Started fitting more bars for the front end yesterday evening. 

Almost put one in the way of the MC. Franz happened by and pointed it out. Made sure it all cleared. Thanks bro!

Started burning bits in today from the bottom up before more stuff gets in the way. 

We will build it if it comes.

Back to it.

Knocked out a support for the power steering torque plate yesterday. Need to trim of some excess plate before it finished. 

We will build it if it comes.
