Section525 - D44 2nd gen. leaves SAS

[jshexplo96]

I order 4" 7-leaf waggy springs for the front of mine. It was pretty cheap to order the lift instead of just springs so they sent me new ubolts all around. I could get 4 of them to you for prettty cheap if your interested. They are brand new. Let me know.

You didn't get any with your perches? I guess I got the "kit", perches and u-bolts from ttsfab.

Damn it's been a while. So I have to admit something. My axle didn't exactly get royal treatment through out my garage restoration. It take outside, alone, exposed to the elements for about three weeks. The weather took it's toll on my poor D44 and it is in sorry looking shape.

But luckily I have access to one of those across the street. I took some parts over and they got full on manicures today.

 

[section525]

Now they are still going to get the once-over before I call them good.



So as of now I am still collecting parts. I want to make this transition and fast and smooth as possible. So I'd rather wait till I get everything I could possibly need than to have it on jack stands for too long.


Plus, I am still in the weld-learning stage. Right now I am practicing on B2Dude's SAS. You should see a thread on that later today though.

I kept the gay dust shiels on mine, the mud that gets packed in there keeps the rotor polished.

 

[section525]

A lot of this stuff that I am cleaning up I won't even use. Like these knuckles. I am just doing it because it's no more work really and maybe the next person will appreciate clean, non-east coast parts.

Kuma thinks they're too bright.

 

[Stic-o]

My Eyes My Eyes! They are to bright! LMAO!

Yeap! Torch, Sawzall, and Grinder Whaetever it takes!


Edit: I just made a phone call....Plasma

 

[section525]

Wish I was closer so I could help/watch. I was asking cause I was thinking about getting the plasma before I start. I fired up the torch the last few nights and noticed that I am getting a lot of warpage while cutting. I was weary about doing this to or near my frame.

Good luck with yours though. Lots of pics!

Wish I had a time lapse setup

 

[section525]

Can you set up a vid cam to your laptop and have some program record at like 30 frames a minute?
