Getting Close....Teaser Pic

[Montoya]

I got it on the wheels for the first time! I had to run the junkyard specials up front because my buddies trailer is too narrow for the full width axles and the larger tires.

Now I just need to add some skulls and flame throwers and it's ready for a Mad Max casting call.

It's sitting a little low on the wood blocks but the springs are on the way.

Next up; driveshafts, brake lines, high steer, and steering linkages. I'll try to post pics along the way.

Wow! That's some nice looking steel you got going there!

Wish I could take all the credit. My buddy Eric helped me with a lot of the fabrication. He mostly builds stripped out hot rods but he can weld the heavy metal with the best of them when needed.

Guess you got the t-case bolted up. What was the issue?

Love the old school/new school vibe going on.

I would love to see some diagrams on the frame cross section you mentioned.

I actually just put it in there temporarily. I still have to machine it to get the two to mate fully but I can get the bolts started.

Love the old school/new school vibe going on.

That's what I'm going for...old on top and new on bottom (the opposite of my wife...heyooo )

A lot of my buddies are giving me grief for using the round lights on top instead of the LED bars everywhere. While I love the look of those bars, I just don't think it fits the vibe I'm going for.

Here is a thread I started with the CAD data for the frame:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Later,

I couldn't get anything to pull up off that thread... Maybe I have to have the correct software?...

Pretty much all I'm looking for is proof that what I built in the rear was correct based off the info I had. Maybe you can just answer the question.

Based off the datum line how much lower (if any?) is the rear frame horn than the front frame horn? Looking at it from the side view.

I had to double check but the front is actually a little lower than the rear.

I also added a frame drawing I downloaded a long time ago. Not sure where I got it but apparently Steve 83 should get credit.
