Looking good Judi... coming right along..... now.. do my eyes decieve me, or is that a virgin C9OE block laying upside down on a pallet, in pictures 3, and 5....

Fordfilly · Nov 19, 2008

Well first of all, I don't think there is anything "virgin" in his shop....besides I think he said that he was going to do something with that rusty thing awhile back but now it is going to the crushers!

Johnny · Nov 19, 2008

That's a good place for it....

Fordfilly · Nov 19, 2008

WHAT? No hair standing on end......no pissy come-back? You just turned my evening into a very long night because now BMC won't rest until he can get one up on ya or get ya rialed.....so come on and play along, okay?

Johnny · Nov 19, 2008

Well, you really can't say that now can you...... you did take "Nails" home along with another fine solid EB to rebuild.

They were free, so by default so was all the rust. ;D

Judi (and Bill) - you're going to put the rest of us to shame when you bring this rig out for the first time. Everything looks great!

DocLewis · Nov 20, 2008

Lots of good progress on your project! Doc

Moving ahead by getting front driveline rebuilt and in.

Finally got my Glyptal paint in so we were able to get that step done and move forward.

Sure is Purdy... Nice girl..

Fordfilly · Dec 2, 2008

Decided to work a little on the rig, maybe a fab up a track bar. Okay, so we got a little carried away with it...1/4" sidewall by 1 1/2" Stainless steel Hollobar might have been a little much. Looks cool!

Then we decided to play with some scrap, marine grade, aluminum.

Fordfilly · Dec 2, 2008

Notice the one side is taller (wider) than the other....that is the backside.

Having the backside wider than the front allowed us to put a slight twist to the bottom and give it a completely unique look.

Best of all, its total weight is 31 pounds!

Looks pretty cool - keep the bumper off the rocks or you will give it another "unique" look.

The build looks nice. Your beating me on dads build but with a good weekend i can catch up. however that flatie will bring major style points.

Would you believe it if I told you..that bumper is easily four times the impact strength of the factory one, and equivalent to many aftermarket steel bumpers that are boxed construction using mostly 1/8" steel?

If steel was better than aluminum in properly designed structures..they would make airplanes outa steel..or Ford GT frames..or performance boat hulls. But they don't.;D

The gas tank in the back of my EB crawler is aluminum and is also the skid plate for the rear of the truck.

All that aside...Filly isn't gonna be taking it on the rocks and she sure isn't gonna let me either.;D We're going for light weight..that flattie is not exactly a brute in the HP deprtment.

A very unique and well done project Filly and Bill. Can't wait to hear that engine work
