Not much - maybe 6" wide by 16". I have to drive down to Arlington tomorrow (work) so I'm going to try to stop by Potomac Steel in Springfield. If not, I'll go to the closer shop thats about 10 mins from my house (its just their stock isnt as clean and fresh as Potomac Steel's stock)

I think I might have some left over from my rear bumper when I did it with Draper in PA.. Yeah the drawback of Boulevard steel is that some of the steel especially the channel is rusty from being out in the elements. The 8" 1/4" plate luckily wasn't.

Well after a few minutes of looking things over, it appears that I don't actually need any more 0.25" plate. I'm going to make a square tube into a C-channel and use that instead of going with fllat plate.


But today the driver's side shock tower was tacked to place

Tomorrow is going to be a hot one here on the mid-atlantic so I'm not sure what I'll finish - but I'm shooting to have the cross brace done that goes from shock tower to shock tower - and perhaps the steering shaft (that shouldnt take more than 30 mins or so).

I don't believe you.

 

[FROADER]

I don't either. Mom told me you were a little shifty.

...and good thing you'll have a SAS registry once this project is done because your thread as little to do about anything anymore.

Ahah yeah true.

Updates?

 

[IZwack]

Updates? you want updates !?!?!? AHHH!!!

Well today I did the final welds on the shock towers (they were just tacked before) and the shock tower brace. And so those are getting welded to the chasiss today.

I'll post some pics later on tonizight to the trizight.

pics of your upper link chassis mount? im a little way into my rangers 3 link and im having a hard time seeing a way to fit the upper link under there.

 

[IZwack]

pics of your upper link chassis mount?

Sure thing

 

[IZwack]

For RedRanger -- upper link's chassis mount -- all plates are 1/4"

Back view:

Bottom view:

Top view:

The upper plate has a "cut" in the back because I put a notch in the chassis for some wire (though the wire is temporarily tucked away on the other side of the chassis in the picture).

Tomorrow is axle assembly day. Today it was paint day, and some minor welding.


Painted axle:

Shock tower (you cant really see them - they are black), and shock tower brace (the silver thing)

The shock tower brace was made out of left over tubes from the steering link and the upper link.
