Rusty92 Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Thank you Joe. I’m proud of how she sits. Now to do all the steering linkages Edited March 11, 2019 by Rusty92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouO Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) I never even knew that system existed until you introduced it to us all several weeks back. You did a great job replicating it in scale. Impressive work. Edited March 11, 2019 by LouO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to get some more done this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplelindy Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Very impressive scratch building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmopars Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 You have done a great job on this one. Doing the front suspension had to have been complex. Add to it that the front of the frame is not even close to symmetrical. The whole front of the frame on these vans are off-set. I am impressed that you were able to make it all work like it should.

Thank you. I’ve enjoyed watching it all come together. I’ll have an update within the coming days. How is your van going? Still busy with the BRBO?

I have been working on the BRBO, but then I got side tracked and I am building the Dick Mann Honda 750 racer, but turning it into a Cafe style bike. I guess I needed a mental purge. Parts of the BRBO are still on my bench and I did get some painting done and I am waiting for it to dry. So, I have not totally abandoned the project. The paint I chose is very slow to dry and I found that if I rush to work on it, it just goes to poo. I am better to paint, then leave it a lone for a week or 2. So, ya. ADHD.

Rusty92 Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 @Oldmopars that makes sense. Same with me. I dropped the BRBO because I was too busy with school. Now that I’m done I want to finish this van over the summer. Heres an update for everyone. Made the torque tubes and braces for the front, drive shafts not shown but they are mocked up. In the rear we have lift shackles and I moved the suspension back a tad, it didn’t line up too well with the lift on it. Speaking of lifts, I have 2 lift blocks to get the van sitting level. I also extended the Dana 60 so it was more even. I’ll need to add brakes still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldmopars Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Anything to report on this build? I know mine has been slow, so I can relate to a lack of progress. I would love to see you get this done by the end of the year. I need some competition to keep if fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
