First a bit of welding. then more welding.... My phone died at this point so ill have to take more pics tomorrow, Painted the control arms and spindles, tomorrow I have to make new inner fenders.
Here is the welder i have been using. Cant take credit for the welds, those are my dads. Intalled some of the new bits. Those springs where a pain! I still need to make the replacement panels and do some cleanup and painting, new brake line should be in soon.
Today i made templates for the inner fenders, Installed the brake calipers and she is back on her wheels for now. Now its the waiting game for parts.
Too bad I am currently waiting on the new steering column to come in :/ The motor mounts came in today but I still need the rear sump pan before I can worry about putting the mounts in.
The parts came in and i am still removing parts from the donor truck, I was given a turbo off a 7.3 turbo diesel but i have a feeling the turbo might be too small, Mabye ill go with twins.
It has been raining a ton out here so progress has been slow, I scrapped the turbo idea for now saving for a fuel injection system instead. Soon as it stops raining Ill test fit the engine. Until then I will be working on a few little electronic projects.
