Looking good man!
I probably would have put in a few speed holes too, but that's just me . ;)
 
Nicely done Mike....I know the bolted on parts give you flexibility by being able to remove them, but have you considered welding them to the frame? I think it would make a little cleaner installation IMO.
great fab work brother....and for you a golden ticket:

Old vs new.....not even the same league of craftsmanship and execution!

Well done Mike!

Yeah, I have to agree now looking at that last pic. But, just to be clear... Your text back then did say making new mounts may be easier...

Just here to tell you...you were wrong. :D:haha:

Damn sexy!

Thanks Boss man. You know I always appreciate your thoughts on stuff.

Good talking to you this weekend. :waytogo:

Awesome work

Thanks Jess. I guess they kinda came out looking like your first drawing. That was cool of you to do that for me. :waytogo:

sick......

I'm going to take that as a compliment. You like Rene and Greg; it feels pretty cool to get some props from you guys. Thanks. :bow:

Ya think I should have put in a couple more? :whistle:



Nah, fvck that. lol

Thanks Ash. :pimp:

Very nice, looks great.

Thanks BBB. I would head on down this weekend, but you gotz no truck. :thumb:Pretty busy the rest of the year too. Sucks, because this weekend would have worked out great. :whistle: :D

Thanks, Oh Chosen one. :D

Honestly, way back in the beginning, I made it a goal not to weld to the frame. I was pretty nOObish at the time, but over the years I've wanted to stay the course. Besides, they are done and I ain't going back.

So that stock spring hanger is looking pretty boring now

You just get a





NO


:haha:


This way, if they really bother ya, you'll actually hop in the car, head to my place and we'll link it. :deal:


Thanks brother. Can't wait till you're back in the states. Your thread could use a little dusting off. :popcorn:

Looking much nicer. I don't even wanna know how long it took to smooth out all those weld beads.

Thanks Brain.... Honestly, those took about 4 hours per pair to make them all silky smooth. I think that it was worth it though.


Next up, figure out why the drivers side sits a little high on that side. I think it was that seat brace that I installed under the console. Maybe it's just a tad to high. After that, it's all about that rear bumper.

I did run into one snag along the way. Back when I lazily mounted the body to the frame for the slider mock up, I was too low in the back. I should have done it right and leveled off the axles and did everything right, but I didn't.

Now the ass sits a little higher, were it should be, leaving a gap between the rear portion of the slider and body. I don't even know it it will be noticeable, till I get it outside again, but I do know it's there. So, it will probably get fixed somehow probably.

Thanks for all the compliments, guys. I really do appreciate it. :bow: I would have responded sooner, but as soon as the last one was mounted, I went and got all assdt mngr on myself. I had a one man party walking circles around the rig for hours having a grand old time. :D :haha:
 
I'm sure. It seems like the longer a project drags on, the less motivated I get. Once you finish though, the Neers are that much sweeter :pimp:
 
That's ok rain check! So what's the BBB stand for?

Deal... One the other, chit I don't know. I'd have to go back to the MPS post on FB to see what my drunk ass came up with. I do remember starting it there and somehow it just stuck in my head. Lol

Hell yah, these things dragged the fab right out of me. And, you are oh so right on the Neers. I did not feel that well at work today. :doah: :haha:
