The Gold Project

Gonna enlarge it to keep the stockish look to it. Basically jsut gonna cut a little then flex it, cut some more flex it, so it will be cut only as much as it needs to be. Thats funny on the bushing, Whoda thunk you had to take the old one out

 

Looking good Jason.

 

Looks real good. Can't wait.

 

Got the engine/tranny/tcase mocked in place tonight...Looks like its going to be very close under the hood but I believe its gonna clear....cross your fingers





It sat down about 3" with the weight in it....

 

I should be able to fit in under the hood..at least thats the plan right now, the front Xmemeber is going to get cut out so I'll hopefully be able to slip it in there behind the grill, and run a couple elec. fans to move some air. The guy I needed to ask about the axle didnt come around today, but he should one day this week. When I see him, I'll ask and see what he wants for it.

 

How much for the s10 brake set-up, and how big is it?? Im still trying to find a booster/MC for goldie...

 

Got some motor mounts made tonight...might go back later on and add a piece of tube to help support the very bottom of the bracket, but it seems to be very strong right now..

 

when you gonna ditch the fuel pump?

lookingood ther bud. i would problably tie-in the bottom of the mount too. gonna be a lot of torque out on the end for just plate.

hey on the brakes, wanna run hydroboost? got a setup for the 3b, but you know how fast thats coming.

anyway, keep on keepin on. that is all. bye bye.

 

looks good.

 

Didnt work on it much this weekend, was busy helping another guy with his 'yota

But did grab a pic of the wheel turned all the way...should have decent turning radius. Also sold the spool I was going to run in the front, since I decided to switch to a Lockrite, so I'll still be able to turn

 

Thats a good idea..once the shocks get here, I'll look into doing it that way. I had just planned on welding the shock tabs to the housinig inbetween the spring pad and the knuckle and then doing a hoop up into the fender well for the top mount.

 

yeah the hoops Im plannin on making are going to angle out some. Trail gear has some nice ones that are fairly cheap that Im thinking about getting, Im jsut not sure yet if they will clear the bottom of the fender. If not I'll just make a couple myself...shouldnt be too hard to do

 

Started building the cross member tonight.. Gonna plate it up with some 1/4" plate and add a bar or two from front to back...It will bolt through the side to the frame rails with 4-5 bolts/side. The mount for the tranny/tcase will be bolted though the bottom with some flush mount allen head bolts..The front bar drops under the yoke on the front of the tcase, and then curves around and goes through the gap between the bottom of the tranny and the bellhousing then up to the frame rail. The rear bar drops down just a little past even with the bottom of the tcase in the rear then slopes up to the other frame rail.

 

Looks Nice. Keep those pics coming.
