The Madness continues

JRSTI,

You are correct, Octavio is working hard! I was happy to see more progress. The front shock hoops are looking good, that engine cage is trick out. chugging along... I keep pleading with Octavio to please have it ready for TDS... Only reason I am building this. Well not the only reason, but the main reason. I believe Octavio will do all he can to make sure its ready. So far he has kept his word.

Thanks again for the updated pictures...

Not a problem Jaime. I just wish I had more money so can get my Blazer ready for TDS. Looking at some of my brothers work on your project is giving me more ideas for my Blazer.

That looks like some really nice work, but I do have a question for you.

Your link ends appear to be using a comparitively small bolt through the mount. Will you be using a larger bolt later or is this normal?

Cheers!

bolts

Cody,

Those aren't the bolts that will be used. Those are just temporary bolts. If I am not mistaken the permanent bolts with be 5/8 bolts.

That makes sense, I had to ask though, also do your 4 link lower arms bend? will they be reinforced or replaced later?

Great pics BTW.

Too Funny

MtnC,

Hilarious...

Update: The "Moose" is now standing on it's own legs, springs are on. Heading into the home strech and we need the wiring and some welding to be finished before we head out to TDS2010. Kind of nervous we might not make. But we should be ok. Will be working some late nights to buttom the "Moose" up. I'll post updated pictures this weekend.

Sorry...

MtnC,

Did take my camera, but I can tell you that she's almost done. We turn it over today and she sounds awesome. Have some last minute things to button up and she will be ready for TDS... I'll try to get the pictures up tomorrow.

Incredible lookin or :moose: Perfect stance w/ those axles. I'm diggin the front fender trimming. If you could follow those lines w/ some tubing & tie it into a bumper w/ possibly a stinger, that'd be so
