Dont be scared, everybody trims the crossmember. It wont hurt anything.

 

I took mine out entirely

 

Been super busy and saving money so I can buy cool parts!

Here’s the little bit of progress I have so far.
Got the heads studs off... took a lot of heat and drill bits. Seven didn’t want to give up.





Got the trans finally bolted up instead of sitting on a piece of wood.




I picked up a 32 wishbone yoke to complete my wishbone. I’ll have to lengthen the arms a bit.

Got a few more things checked off the list. Rear upper shock mounts, finished the z in the rear of the frame, welded bungs to my axle for a lower shock mount.







I capped the weld with some silicon bronze to give it some flair.

Like like like !!!

 

Worked on trying to separate a spare axle and wishbone with no luck. Smashed it with heat and lube for hours and nothing.

Started making some rear lower shock mounts.









Need to do the other side and smooth them out some more.

Front shocks are on finally. It’s starting to feel a lot more stable

^^^Your rear spring shackle bushings look a little undersized. Is that just an illusion?^^^

 

Nice build. Maybe enough to inspire me to finish mine! Keep it up.

Nice work.

 

Thanks for reports on your progress!
Looking good.

 

It caught my attention cause I recently noticed one of my shackle bushings crapped out.
Got a spring spreader I can borrow?
Keep up the good work!

 

I do not sorry. Thanks for the kind words I’m trying my best

Got the other one done today and it’s sitting on all four shocks.





Next is steering and brakes
