I saw that! But 200bucks just ain't happening for a few bits of aluminum and some clevises/heim joint! I have stock sitting around the garage I can fab my own with! I will copy... Err I mean design my own style though! [emoji2]
guideline weldment clamped ready for tacks tacks welding getting better with the 2% lanthanated using a tig finger to keep the puddle going... bottom side tacked also top done cleaned up with scotch brite pretty enough to leave as is... What do you think? driver side done... I'm super tired... Other side tomorrow and fab up engine mounts!
Onto the other side... cut to size clamped stitched up right donef front view passenger driver top re-welded engine mounts with 2 root passes and 2 hot passes each excellent weld penetration
engine sitting under it's own weight! carb mounting surface at zero need to recheck after on the ground and everything settles lots of different angles passenger driveline right far test grill back side...
On to the trans x-member... and tacking up the rest of the box plates passenger trans rubber mount bolted on... this casting is of kilter and will need shimmed... 2" tacks this is the cross mount that will get lighting holes and will allow the trans to be dropped... one side tacked up front back side will finish the other side tomorrow, finish the cross section, and zip up the ladder bars!!
Lots of good work today ! Trans x-member finished... Ladder bars re-welded... And back on its wheels! The input output yolk angles are 2 deg also... Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Sorry I've been MIA for a while, brother, things are looking GREAT! Really good advice has been given and you're excellent at taking constructive criticism!
Thanks man! Hope your family is healthy and safe... Yup, never was one to be prideful and I appreciate all the help I can get! When I am cruising from state to state, all of you that helped me will be in my heart, and you will be in the soul of this little monster when she zooms down the highway! vrooooooom...
I see the base for the carburetor is level and wonder if the tail shaft of the trans is 2 degrees?? I may have missed that, seems that it would be 0 degrees too. What is the angle finder sitting on in the picture showing the rear? I put the angle finder on the end of the pinion shaft since the yoke could possibly be not true.
Good to see progress has been made on your T project. Lots of photos detailing your custom build. Curious, since you have a leather shop, and your build is "old school" will we see the front & rear springs packed in grease and leather wrapped?
Welding up stuff around the house... And fixing farming equipment [emoji30][emoji30][emoji30] trying to get back on it...
Thanks for your post... The leather work is gonna be redunculous on this [emoji12]. I've been planning it for 5 years!!!
Thank you! I need to review my thread to relearn where I was... so much has happened in two years it seems like a decade. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
