svo521 Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 here we go.... no disassemble! no disassemble number five!!!! :-) Gasp!! my oil return is showing!! cleaning things up getting ready to tackle the lower bushings Yay!! Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 A real torch makes those bushings easy. Just sneak the torch tip in the side of the crossmember and heat it up, and you can knock out the bushings easy. Gotta have a friend help ya cause you need to be quick. Quote Link to comment
svo521 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Ah yes heat is an awesome tool!..... the friend part.... gonna have to put the neighbor kid to work lmao... he's real sharp for only being 12. Just did full front end on an 87 yota 2wd last year but ive slept at least twice since than, so constructive input is always helpfull :-) not sure how im going to mount these upper arms yet so im going to finish cleaning up the frame more pics soon.

svo521 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 getting cleaned up fenders off for some body work etc. this guy showed up to help hehe was probably trying to get into my aquaponics system.... Quote Link to comment
its_karl Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I take it the original dash went into your friends truck and the wood one is temporary? I like the workaround for missing parts. Your trans tunnel looks wide as hell, how much extra room is there between the trans and sheetmetal? How fast is this thing? Quote Link to comment
svo521 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 The dash was nothing but a metal shell when i got it and i didn't need room for heater and wipers (ditched that crap) The wood dash is permanent but im going to have the panels made in hardwood, veneer is temporary. alot of room around trans probably more than needed. going to have more room as soon as i replace the tortion bar xmember with a traditional trans xmember so im going to drop everything(engine and trans) down an inch or so. It's quick but not fast mainly due to gearing(4.37:1) and traction. in 5th at 3350 rpm is 70 and first gear is almost useless :-) right now on the stands its really slow ;-) Quote Link to comment
its_karl Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Quick is plenty of fun though... I like it Quote Link to comment
