Rusty, where have you been? Do you live under a rock? 😁
in reply to: WTF Cory!!!! #67788One of the nicest original undersides.
in reply to: KCW randomness #67787Hell yeah.
in reply to: Dans ‘65 Tesla #67747Shortened lower shock mounts to get more ground clearance. I set the upper eyelet as high as possible(bottom of the luggage shelf).
48” backing plate to backing plate.
13 5/8” with 3” spacers under the pan. It would bottom out with 21 1/4” diameter tires…. We’ll probably run more like a 25” tire with 4” under the pan at ride height.
in reply to: Dans ‘65 Tesla #67730Yeah thinking about shocks now. Spent yesterday fitting the upper gussets better and fully welding + double pass welded some of the larger joints.
in reply to: Dans ‘65 Tesla #67692Thanks fellas, the IRS arms have been a process. Mostly due to the clearance provided by the 65 swing axle pan (shocktowers/bodymount).
in reply to: JJ’s Class 11 Oval #67617Wepow! I like that original mirror cap. What’s the story on those? It’s the first I’ve seen.
in reply to: Dans ‘65 Tesla #676161” Narrowed and 3” dropped IRS control arms have been a fun project. Ready for final fitting and welding on the bearing housings.
in reply to: Dans ‘65 Tesla #67538in reply to: Dans ‘65 Tesla #67505Yeah, more welding. I beefed up the front mount with some bands around the tabs. That was the last item of fabrication for the Tesla drive unit. I am done with mounting. Woohooo!
I’m going to get into some IRS control arm modifications today.
in reply to: Dans ‘65 Tesla #67464More welding today. Made a couple gussets for the body/battery mounts. I’m not going to get crazy with gussets like a race car cage…They just looked like they needed more structure, the fronts especially.
I also build up some material on the shocktowers to finish the edge where they were cut.
in reply to: Dans ‘65 Tesla #67463Let’s wait on the video until we are further along. All mocked up n’ stuff.
Ready for pictures tho..
in reply to: Tom’s 23 Window Deluxe!! #67438Doug did some ragtop work yesterday.
in reply to: WTF Cory!!!! #67437The stainless A1 sidewinder arrived. Thanks Tiger!
