Darren B Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 The front end is finished even with shocks and tie rod. After I lay out the interior I will add a steering box and the drag link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren B Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 I wanted to do a little different on the transmission tunnel guard than what Scott did. This is an old ear ring piece my wife was done with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Are ya planning to remove the extra section of frame in front ahead of springs ? Killer work fabbing the springs and perchLove the idea for the tranny tunnel cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) gotnitro? Thank you on the tunnel cover, wanted something more stylish than just aluminum sheet, as far as the extra section on the frame, do you mean right in front of the front leaf spring? That section I have to come up with some kind of mounting system for the grill and radiator, not sure if Scott's had a raditor as from all the pics I could not see one but I want to add one. I may have to modify the frame to do so but so far thinking I can fit one in even if its a smaller one from a large pickup or something like that but will see. That is another huddle that I have not put much thought into but will have to soon deal with.... Edited October 17, 2017 by Darren B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 A little awkward the tunnel meeting the sheild but I think once painted it will work.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Yep really like how your tunnel is working !that's the area that gave the most hurting brain cells trying to figure out how it should all work..ya made it look easy Yeah I was referring to the frame sections ahead of the spring, you've cleared my question using it for radiator, I thought the idea was having your front spring out front and the rad behind...tI'll I went back to the original photo.

I'll figure something out thou. I want a radiator to make it more believable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren B Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Is that a gear from a wind up watch for the radiator capNiceJeff, yes its two pieces from a watch, I like to add them when I can find a place for them. I normally would have made one on my lathe but a few years back had to sell it to get out of a financial situation. They look good being machined and come in handy as caps using a winder for a watch.
