The restoration/modification of Daisy.

[Rugger187]

Ha! Kinda. I was driving my brothers 95 Nissan Sentra in a pocket of nothing in the outside lane on the freeway. I watched in my rear view some asshole in a mid 90's Nissan hardbody come flying up behind me and jump on the shoulder to pass me. The exit was about a 1/2 mile up so it was totally an asinine move.
So I did what anyone should do. I swerved at him when he was about halfway up my car. I watched his front end corner hit the wall, his side mirror rip off, and his whole passenger side hit. He slowed back down, got way behind me, and exited.
I was laughing so hard. I also had my glock 17 on the seat just in case.
I even called highway patrol and told them what happened and they said don't worry about it.

my dad wasn't thrilled with it, it was his first IBCA competition. they require smoke ring on 3 sides of the brisket slices, meaning you have to trim the brisket down a lot before cooking it.

I was kind of wondering why it was cut down so much. Some funny rules they have in BBQ comp.......

Damn that's funny ****.

Yeah, it was his first IBCA competition, some of the rules are different. He actually took grand champion so I guess they liked it.

I've been buying parts and cutting metal for the last few days. There's two bumpers and a pair of sliders laying there.

This weekend I'll start fitting and tacking everything together, cut the skid plates out and start on the sliders.

Bumper lights showed up today.

What's the ETA on getting the bumpers tacked together to mock those up? I ain't getting any younger.

Been a busy week. All the steel for skids, sliders and bumpers is cut. Wired a bed dedicated circuit and breaker into the garage, main skid is mounted, currently welding up sliders.

This is all you get for now.

I'm just gonna leave these here, see if anyone is paying attention.

I AM! But it's not nearly as cool to have just the pictures. The story is the fun part...

 

[y5mgisi]

we got the tubing done on my sliders today, I'm happy! tomorrow i'll get under the truck and drill the 24 1/2" mounting holes... oh joy!

we clamped this onto the frame and took a few measurements.

bent up a test piece to mock up the angles and lengths.

then we had these.

tacked em on.

cut, notched and welded in the brace tubes. i'm gonna cut a 45* into the ends of the square tube tomorrow.

i love the way they fit, it looks like they're gonna ride about 1/4 away from the pinch weld. i hope thats enough and i dont get any weird noises or funny **** going on.

 

[y5mgisi]

Those look about perfect! Good job! Have fun with the drilling! I dont envy you with that!

 

[chevyfumes]

Slick man, looks good.

 

[muddysub]

Tonight I cut 45° ends into the square tube and welded in some caps. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

I guess I'll get under there tomorrow and start drilling... I'm really not looking forward to that part. If I dont post anything else it's because I'm trapped under one of these heavy things in the driveway, likely starved to death.
