Project, Low & Slow

One of the boat sides cut and mocked up. I'll get the tabs for it welded on and start on the other side.

Please tell me that's going to be the paint color.

It's going to be WAY worse than that. This POS will glow in the dark when I'm done.

Baby Grave Digger!!!!

Back on the buggy today and got a little bit done. Reworked the passenger side boat side and have the driver side mocked up as well. I'll get the tabs mounted and have them bolted on soon.

I've got the skid plate brackets on, side panels cut out, and all of my wiring zip tie mounts attached. I forgot about building a skid plate for the oil pan so I built the oil sump guard over the weekend being this bitch is going to be a belly dragger.

Other than getting the coil mounted I have no other fabs items on the list so it's tear down time. I'll get the axles pulled and rebuilt first then move along to the weld out. Glad I waited for 100 degree weather to weld out the chassis.

haha.. right

 

[Monstercrawler]

Figured I'd post a few more pics before it's torn down. Really happy with how the chassis turned out.

Damn thing comes apart fast. I'll try and get the motor, transmission and TC out tomorrow.



Once the chassis is stripped I'll tear down the axle for rebuild and some better parts.

 

[Brent460]

Looking good sir.

 

[Monstercrawler]

Got everything pulled other than the TC. I'm going to make a few adjustments on the mount being I can leave crap alone. I forgot how small the chassis is. It's going to look crazy on 39" reds.

I waited for the heat index to hit 109 yesterday before I went out to the shop. I'm dumb like that.

Starting pulling the front axle apart so that I can get all the new parts in it. Bearings, seals, axle shafts, gears, locker, ARP studs, high steer arms, and brakes. I only got one side done before I said fawk it.

"sweat gets in your eyes......"

Spent some time on getting the axle stripped down, cleaned and welded out yesterday. Might try and paint it today then move to the rear axle. All I have on it is weld out and paint.
