Finished My Step Notch

I only have a few small things to finish up, install gas tank, rear shocks, and some sheet metal work. But the notch turned out great and it gets as low as I was hoping.

Here are a couple vids:

 

Cool, man. Looks like fun. What did you end up doing to locate the rear end? Main leaf? 2 link?

So my friend you want to fight! Well i came to fight your brother!

 

Ha, Nice! I have a video somewhere of my old 63 Volvo smashing cans. I may have to dig them up.

 

Got any clear pics of the finished product? the videos cool but I can't see shit.

 

it looks ok. I like where you installed the air tank. Are you going to use a 60's mustang tank?

No good pics pics of the car yet, but here is what I have. And I am using the stock tank.

 

cool.

 

coolest can crusher i've ever seen....looks good, my 52 is just about done being bagged...then I too can crush all my cans and take them to the recycling center....

 

Thanks to the jack daniels bottle you just made my wallpaper!

 

Crushing cans is ok, but I prefer putting people under my bumper and crushing them, Now thats fun!!

 

Cool car but your license plate is "GEY"

 

Thanks for the vid...you just motivated me to get my ass out in the garage and start cutting mine up.....

 

Sweet, If you need any info, measurements, etc, let me know.

 

blown420 what are you using for your valves, Lines and compressor/tanks?

 

how tall is that step notch?

 

SMC Valves, 1/2 DOT air line, 5 Gallon Tank, Firestone bags, Viair 450c compressor and soon an engine driven York. In this vid though my car was hooked to my shop compressor. The Yorks do fill super fast though.

The notch started off at 9 inches, but I didnt use it all. Probably 6 or 7 inches would be fine.

I'm kind of interested in that too....

 

Its a mono leaf, I am going to add a panhard bar. To get the room I ended up cutting about a half inch out of the notch, and reinforcing it with some 1/4 inch plate on both sides adn around the inside of the notch.

 

Hey man, keep on keepin' on.

Lower it to the pavement and drive it to scrape away what is in the way!

 

I just finished my rear bags about 10 minutes ago , I'm using the one leaf per side method for now.....I have to trash the spare tire tub...seems to be hitting...my rear X member is about 3/4" of the ground right now...

It goes up and down....I guess I might of done something right

 

sounds good!

 

how much was your setup for the rear bags?? I have a step notch but need bags...

 

I reused bags that I already had, I dont remember what I paid for them. But you can probably get what you need for a few hundred.

 

That looks like you spent a lot of money on that can crusher!

It's good to see someone SOO financially dedicated to recyling!

(Looks good man!)

 

Had any smart-ass remarks about the plate yet?

 

I was wondering the same thing??

 

Ha, More than I can count!
