Hey and Bax, I even purchased those special Transfer Case & Tranny paints that they sell too! But, I'm having trouble finding that extra special brake parts paint in black..........you know where I might find some?

Nails! I've done nothing to make you feel obligated to have you and your woman come here and work topless....... remember I "un"-invited anyone (you know who) that has a habit of going topless around here.

Naw...on second thought, way to much trouble. Maybe Johnny will bring that pneumatically-challenged gal back here again. At least with her we can just let the air out iffen we get tired of her.;D

Looks like you've been really busy, Bill! Good for you! I'll try to post some pictures of the full-width EB project that Jason White and I have going during deer season. Doc

I'm not taking any of the credit for the flathead EB build, Doc..my job description reads:

1. Think up ideas for EB motor swaps that nobody else has tried.
2. Procrastinate.
3. Procrastinate some more.
4. Let eager significant other take over project and actually get things done.
5. Hijack significant other's threads on the buildup.
;D

Well shame on me cause I get so busy that I just don't keep this updated like I should. Okay, here is where I left you........Mr. Kitty has been keeping his eye on the brakes since they haven't been gotten to as of yet. He will keep doing a great job until I get back to them.

So let me show you how we took our original Radius arms and turned them into custom "Long Arms".

You weld them together like this.

0810050027.jpg


Do some weld clean up.... paint them and now look at them!

We've also been working on our tranny/transfer case.

So that is where we got on those parts. We kind of took a break on that and drug out the second part of our "one-of-a-kind" build.

0809280022.jpg


Some stripping of things took place....

0809280023.jpg


Now this is where the planning for the design adjustment takes place.

0809280027.jpg


Plan being put into action.

0809280028.jpg


Okay.....now we'll just put this aside for the mean time!

0809280032.jpg


We'll be back shortly... got to go into the woods and get the other main part of our build. (To be continued, again!)

You cut the frame in half? Is this a stretch build?

Back with our next step.

0810040005.jpg


Need to do some stripping down on this one too!

0810040011.jpg


Always nice when a friend climbs in to help.

0810040008.jpg


Got that front clip off.....and boy oh boy it was funny when our friend took one side by the fender and started to pull, the plastic fender flare ripped clean off and he just stood there with a total shocked look on his face. We told him that it was okay since we aren't keeping them anyways.

0810040018.jpg


Now we are getting somewhere and more folks are coming around to see what is going on.

0810040019.jpg


Getting a nice pile of bits and pieces in the yard. LOL

0810040003.jpg


Okay, that is good for today. There is more but I'll give you all a day or so to take in all our progress before I post more.

See ya all soon!
