Project Uranus

[lowtideride]

Alright got all the body mounts on tonight, minus the front ones because the front valence does not fit because the engine has to be moved back 4.45 to 5inches. I would have some photos to post up by my girl some how lost the flash card from the backyard to the computer.

Here are some shots of the body mounts welded up and a current shot of the truck, the body is 1.5 inches lower now than in that photo. The current body lift is down to 2inches. Sorry theres nothing exciting going on but I hope to find some extra cash to get the steel for the rear quaters..

I don't see any gas bottle so what wire were you using in the Hobart? Nice welds BTW - did you do them?

 

[lowtideride]

Yulp sure did. its Flux core .30, I had it turned way up and the wire speed turned way down.

 

[cruiserjunktion]

Just awesome....

Thanks for the update

I feel your pain on being garage-less.

My new place doesn't have any storage or a garage.

 

[lowtideride]

nothin really new, just avoiding moving the engine back or rebuilding the t-case

I worked in front of it though .. finished up working on a surfboard. I always wanted to have a surf company called...."Lowtiderides"... ah prob never happen but here are some shots of the board...



Ill get some real work done, Hell im still ahead of Mace if that means anything

I agree with tapage, cool board bro!!!

Surf is life...

 

[tclndcrz]

i like the board but dont you think the wax will melt pretty easy or is this your "winter" board? hehe

 

[lowtideride]

Its a fish, Ill just use it when the surf is small....and yulp wax doesnt like dark boards. But I almost never let my boards sit on the beach.....Im always on the go, I just go to the beach to surf hopefully for hours.

 

[camcruiser13]

love the new tires and those welds look really good

 

[SURFNE1]

cool cool good luck

This will be a great DD for you, no more warping the rotors on velveeta weekly!

What are your plans for the rear wheelwell (forgive me if youve covered this already, the thread is too long to read over again)?

Keep up the good work!
