GrandpaMcGurk Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Here's a an update on the Zonker....... Rear drum brakes, brake lines and upper shock mounts are are in, oil pan,some yeller paint on the frame and so on. Next up.....shocks, panhard bar and humongous slicks with wide whites.....it just never ends, seems like every time I finish one bit...I need something else.....no matter, it's all fun and it keeps me at home where the old woman can keep an eye on me.

GrandpaMcGurk Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Thanks guys......it's a lot of yellow for sure. Made some shocks from scrap tubing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandpaMcGurk Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Started on the front suspension...... I slipped a piece of aluminum tubing ( for strength) inside some plastic tubing for the front axle. Laminated & clamped some scrap plastic together with M.E.K to form a rough spindle mount. Here's a pic of one of the axle ends filed down & primed with the roughed out other side for comparison. I guess it's time to fab some spindles & disc brake rotors........

GrandpaMcGurk Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Dang.......I'm glad I only have to do 2 of these rotors (they're metal), still have more holes to drill, add studs for the rims and a lot of clean up - polishing to do on 'em.
