No biggie, just a cover plate where the gas pedal bolted up. I'm going DBW and didn't want to weld it up. You never know years down the road what you might swap in or even go to DBC later.



I'll get it painted when i paint the sub and other parts later.

 

Got the center notch finished up. In the pic, you can see both notches. If they were only painted. LOL

 

Looking awesome Allen! Can't wait to see this thing up and running in a few months!

 

Thanks James. You know, I feel the SAME way. LOL

 

James, congrats on the wedding an all! Ill be calling you for some springs for this cam I have, when I actually can get a break from making engine management harnesses and can install the durn thing.

Looks like a very nice build, I hope to see it at the somernites cruise sometime! I bet pictures dont do it justice.

 

Thanks BP, where is summernites at? Cruises are one of things i'm looking forward to. I enjoy meeting new people and seeing new cars, along with talking the car stuff.

 

Its in somerset, Its the 3rd or 4th saturday of every month during the cruising season. here is the site for it.

Oh, I know what your talking about now. I would love to make that sometime. That would be a great roadtrip for it.

 

It's been a while, but things are coming along. I've got my Bradco converter, the engine is going together next week and my Ricks Tank with a magnafuel 750 internal will be here the middle of the week. Looking to order a set of Afco DA in the next week or so. Going to be busy for a bit.

 

That is a super nice setup there! Watching and waiting!

 

I like your style...but you need to update more dammit! Too much waiting between posts...haha.

 

LOL, thanks, I've been waiting for parts, but I do need to get to work. There is 2the things I run out of alot, time and motivation when I have time. Lol ill be on it when these parts get here. LS FEST will be here before you know it.

 

Very nice job on the A/C frame notch! I'm really sorry I didn't respond to your posts earlier - it seems my subscription for your thread wasn't setup right. I notched both sides of my frame (photo here) and there is info in these posts: 231, 247, 250, 266, 285, 290.

Have you fitted your swaybar with the AC compressor in place? I have a 1-1/8" swaybar and needed to space mine down roughly 1/2" to clear the compressor.

The new fuel tank looks great!

 

Thanks man, i like the fab part of builds.

I haven't even purchased a sway bar yet. I think i remember looking at yours. I just haven't made up my mine yet on it, because i'll probably be putting a anti-roll bar on the rear for the track. If i decide to install one, i'm going to modify it to be a easy quick disconnect for the track, so i'm really not in a hurry for it.

The TANK, it dang well better look good for what they cost. I started out with a sumped tank from company x and after many conversations with Eric at Ricks, it's what i wanted in a tank and just had to break down and make it happen. It is a good looking piece and should make for a clean somewhat stealthy install. The sad part is, i'm going to paint it so it doesn't stick out when your behind the car.

 

This ones for you. LOL

Muchas gracias!!!! That's a serious converter!!! Similar one in my future!

 

I'm anxious to see how it does. This whole build is more than i've ever done. Up and till this offroad rigs is all i've ever built. Brad(bradco engineering) was great to work with on the converter build. He spent alot of time explaining and showing me pieces, for the TH400 and this.

 

A little gift this week.

 

The engine shop didn't get the engine done this week, so i did some painting this weekend. Got the sub done where i had to notch the crossmember and several smaller parts. The latch and hinges just look as if it's silver paint, it's actually Eastwoods specialty paints. The results are really nice. I used 2 different colors on them, it's hard to tell.

 

These are the A/C comp. brackets in silver vein.
