Yeah but you had bolts

 

Hey we all started at some time. Always good to see young people taking up the torch. You just have to get in there and start doing. With the internet now, and these great forums with the great people on them, you pretty much can't go wrong.

 

 

So today it rained like crazy...thankfully around 1-2pm it started to let up. I raced out and got the rest of the bolts tightened up. And I then decided to hang my Parabolic front springs.



Finally starting to look like a 4wd!!


Rolled the front diff into the garage so I could clean up, prime and pain the spring mount areas.





And since it's only about 6*C (45*F) and humid as heck...it's a little hard to paint. I have started heating the parts with the heat gun, then spray them...then more heat from the gun. Seems to be working OK.

 

The other day I also picked up my parcel from Silicone Intakes...my boots, T-clamps and spacer for my PS IC install. These pieces should allow me to use my stock tubes....I hope!



Very nice pieces...and their site was great with all the measurements for every little part. And the prices, and shipping were good too...I'd recommend them!

 

Gotta love it!!

 

This thread just keeps getting better and better.

 

Thanks guys...appreciate the kind words!!

 

Spent over half my day running around trying to find more nuts and bots....Sheesh.... I was looking for bolts to secure the steering box plate to the frame. They were 9/16 x 20 x 1.5" and grade 8. I needed 3 of them....I finally found them at Raider/Hansen. But I needed to go with 2" long ones since I was installing the inner steering box brace.

All installed...

 

Then the most satisfying addition to the project so far...Front diff is under the truck!! Halfway there to becoming a 4wd!!



Quite the gasser look to it.....

 

Beauty!!

 

Looks ALOT better with that live axle under the front.

Is that a Coronet wagon on the street curb?

 

Yeah the old Mopar is his run into town and get nuts and bolts with rig when the crew is down.

There is a picture of it here in the thread.
I think it is an old Town and Country wagon

 

Now I am getting excited

It's really cool to watch somebody do something similar to what I am doing!

Thanks for all the good pictures! I have some from other forums and threads, But yours with the front end and engine stripped off are the best!

 

I am really digging the gasser look man!
