HAHA!! Wifey was asking if I liked her fresh manicure!!

Instead of buying expensive degreaser for the pressure washer, a buddy told me to grab some oven cleaner from the dollar store, about 10 bucks worth. Me and him just sprayed the ever living $hit out of that baby, and I am coating it before work in the AM and one more before we pressure wash it.

Oven cleaner is great just keep it off anything aluminum.

Yeah, it's not bueno for aluminum. I have never thought of oven degreaser because my pops has always gotten industrial degreaser from the coal mines....never had to buy any.

As soon as I get to the house I am going to spray a fresh coat on there and take the pressure washer to her.

First order of business is getting the power steering box in and a steering rod in place. I still want to be able to steer her around the shop, plus it will give me some good ideas on tolerances between rod and frame and manifolds, etc. It will also give me a chance to see where I can brace some stuff up at before the new radiator mount and all that stuff is in.

I have a Saginaw box from a J-20, which from what I understand is the HD one with a beefy worm gear. Lock to lock is 2.75, gotta be careful with those freeway lane changes....they might be a little quick. Fallon Dan has a camaro steering column I can grab too, might use it.
 
BLING!!!

Look at what I am picking up Friday......3 link built by TTB. Easy Rick used to have this on his rig. Comes with all the links too! 2 stock shafts, 1 stock spare, 1 chromo spare.:bounce::bounce2:

Thank you kind sir!! I chopped the back of the tub off today, got the front end out, starting measuring and got to thinking a little about what to do.......

This is what it looked like when Rick was building his buggy. Big pimpin flex!!!!:steer:

Just a little update. It's chopped down to just the cowl now, floorboards, complete front end, steering, EVERYTHING!!!! I'm picking up the tires this weekend....42 TSL's and my 8" hydro ram for the FULL HYDRO!!! I have a 12 ft stick of 2" aluminum stock that might get sleeved for my lower links, and there is a chance that it may get link'd in the front also. Picking up some other parts this weekend too, gears, heims, misc. stuff here and there.

Gotta get cleaned up, just got done yanking out the wiring harness. Calling a guy this week to see about a 5.3 vortec. One of my buddies just put one in his buggy and the guy reflashed it, ran it to a 2 plug hook up, all for around 1300 bucks.....NOT BAD, and Bryans is TOUGH!!!

Happy wheeling this weekend boys, if any of you aren't going on the run with the club, we will be at MoonRocks all day saturday.
 
FUUUUHHHHHK!

Quick question about the cut and turn. Since this one is gonna be link'd, and low slung, do I need to do it? It still has a few degrees up to go before it runs over good caster. Tell me something fellas:)

For a trailer queen? I don't think so, but there are greater minds than mine on this topic.

I didn't think so, but just wanted to ask. Poorboy told me he didn't C & T his 45 and it seems good. I can always knock the tcase down on the clocking ring a notch to help it out.....hopefully won't need to.....tryin' to get this baby flat bellied as possible!!!:grinpimp:

I know right??? The next to last pic is my favorite, my buddy is standing about 10 feet away and you can see only half of him from where I am squating down to catch the shot. HE IS 6'3 LIKE ME!!!!
 
You only need to do the c & t if you are trying to turn the pinion up to relieve the u-joint angle and then turn it so that you have some caster. With dual cases and the extra wheelbase you are shooting for, I think you are going to be ok.:cool:

By the way, I agree with Keith, wowwwww.:D

It's good to hear I have one less thing to worry about!!! The doubler kit went out the window. I am going with the original d300 plan. I have one now that is in really good shape. I have a tentative plan($$$ allowing) to use the 300 I have, and at the end of the build throw down on a stak 300. If not, I'll just build this one up tough with the outputs and gears. I am also going to get the longer adapter from AA, that will help driveline angle and trans pan issues.

Speaking of the trans pan/drive shaft issues. How far to the driver side have you guys seen the engine mounted? I need to get it WAYYYY over for the ds to clear somewhat. What's the max???
