Im off Fri and Sat!

Lowers & Uppers on, Man I need a Air Compressor bad, them lowers were ruff.

(Also, does anyone have an idea on what this stuff should be torqued to?)

Do you have a 220 in that garage??

Lowe's was having a sale on their Cobalt brand air compressor's last week. I think the 60 gallon which would do just about anything you wanted was about $325 I have their 80 gallon and it's awesome.

Yes and No, I have plenty of room in the box, but
have not run wire or outlets yet for a compressor.

Springs are in, loose but in, lol.

Spindles & LCA snubbers on.

Headed to Lowe's for paint.

Looking good Craig.

The springs will seat once you get some weight in them. Also don't tighten the lower a arms until everything else is set in, ball joints, upper a arms. This way there is no binding.

Look at him go!! Looks good man!

Headed back up there in a bit to paint all of the fuel
and brake clips, and throw some clear on the inner
and outers, sleeves, pitman arm, & that other arm?

Looking good. so how long before we have to come over and get the body on it.

If all goes well, maybe body on weekend of Ron's?

(Maybe a late night Friday night cruise to my Shop)

EDIT: I just scored 2 tires, now I just need arms !!!

I wish fuel and brake line kit had come w/ instructions

you may need to look at the diagram in a LMC catalog it will get you close

I need an assembly manual I think, it would answer
alot of questions and get me over the main hump. I
looked at the lines but it's too confusing. I took alot
of pic's of the frame before we tore it apart but most
of them were of the suspension, dohh! Pick up the
tires tomorrow in P-Cola on my way back home to
TN. Florida weather has been awesome, I needed it.

I'm jealous. i want to move down there some day.

Back to work on this Monday, getting excited

Front bearings packed, missing bolts just arrived UPS,
and got some ruff pictures of where to run the lines.

No updates, working on Her tomorrow night and
then she will sit for another 5 days, I hate this!!!

pics dude

lol, I said no updates, so there are no new pictures

Well I went up there this morning to get the rear
axle ready for the custom trailing arms. I put on
the left side rear disc brakes and ran into issues.
Either I got the wrong rotors in my kit, or Moser
made my axles wrong. (Let's hope it's the rotor)

Really bummed cause I was getting somewhere.

that sux hop its an easy fix.

That's crap.

yap he is going to have to have the axles turned down some to fit in the rotors.

Yeppers, I gotta have my brand New Moser axles
turned down at the stud plate and the hub. I gotta
have .375 taken off the hub center, and .375 more
milled into the relief on the backside of the rotor.
I'm going to get an estimate on the machine work
tomorrow and hopefully have them done in 3-5.

That sucks. I have a friend with a machine shop in his back yard for things like that

They should be back next week, I hate to rush him
when it will cost next to nothing, maybe even free.

First time seein it in person and it looks truly show quality. I would run over to west tn aircompressors for some pressurized air. They got good deals on new compressors. you can get a BLUE one not to name the brand, but you get the POINT reasonable.

Thanks Bro, I hope it more "Go" than "Show" when finished

I picked this up off Evil Bay last night. It wasn't a need
so we will just call it a want. I'm 99% sure that it's the
logo from the 70's for "Hickey Performance" but I may
be wrong. Never the less it will look cool installed. Not
positive it will fit, but will make cool wall art if it won't.

You'll have the only one around. I like it.

thats cool if its aluminam send it over here and Ill buff it out for you make it look bling for you.

Not sure what it's made out of, I'm hoping that it fits
because I forgot about the rear adjustable panard.

The track bar is probably going to cause you grief with that cover....the wall shouldn't gripe at all though! It's definitly cool.

My axles are back, so I got off my a..

*MDV can pic is just to show size. (13")

These are my roller rims until drivable.

Not sure if I will keep the e-brake stuff.

Now I need my freaking trailing arms

Glad to see you are finally making some progress. Is there a left and right caliper or are they both the same and mount one behind the axle and the other in front of the axle?

Left and Right

Looks Good!!!!

Yep it does

me like pics

Looking really good Craig.

looks good did you put any anti-sieze on the slide points where the "O" rings are?

Looks great I like those wheels to . Why are you thinking of not using the e-brake?

James, No I didn't have any and they are not hunkered down tight yet.

Earl, I basically don't have anything left for running a e-brake

I wouldn't worry about an e-brake. Your running an automatic so if you're that worried about it bring a big 4x4 with you and throw behind the rear tire.

lol, I prefer Bricks

they work well also

Ya its not like you need them but its one of those since you have them may as well hook them up things. I use an emergancy brick my self.

I know this is going to sound insane, but the E-brake or parking brake (as I like to call it because in an emergency its worthless and great for parking on a big hill) is going to have something to do with the way the caliper piston works. The piston inside that caliper may be threaded on the shaft that is attached to the lever on the parking brake. if it is never used the caliper will lock up because of rust. It is possible that it would not even work on one side of the rotor because without the parking brake preload the piston may not have enough travel to pull both pistons aganst the rotor. Without looking closer at it I wouldn't want to make that call.

Hope to finish up the front this weekend.
