weak-link's 60 bulid

[weak-link]

57 is stock, we measured the 60 @ 58" (i think)

 

[freds40]

Yeah I think we might have been 58.25 or something.

Cool, I was wondering if it would be narrower.

I also thought, if you're going to have to change the perches to get the 60 rear into the 40, we can grab the 55 rear that's loose @ my parents. I think but not positive they are the same perch width.

Alright, a few updates.

Jason has been working on getting some of the auxillary wiring taken care of. He picked up a 6 pin fuse block from Napa.

Got the ARB pump mounted on the frame just in front of the motor.

 

[freds40]

Then he decided it was time for a little chop chop

I had to lay out the masking tape so the paint wouldn't chip from cutting.

Marking the cut line

took a little while to get the front laid out right.

 

[freds40]

Getting into it.

 

[freds40]

Lost something

 

[freds40]

Inner fender marked for hacking.

 

[freds40]

Just about finished

Still a little nub to trim

 

[MYTANK]

Looks Very Tough Mate!

Love how far the wheels stick out!

How will the inner fender well and the outer fender connect?

 

[weak-link]

for now they won't.

if I get a bug up my butt, then I would plate the gap and put in some 1/4 bar

 

[weak-link]

I'm starting to like this thing








my rear springs have seen beter days. I think I'll re-arch them an inch or two and bag the rear.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

I love the cut!! I think I'm going to do the exact same thing to my 60.
