I heard talk of progress, so I had to come check for pics. Looking awesome Bill!

Maybe one of these days I'll work on my own rig so I can wheel with you. I think yours will be done before I can get anything done on mine again... :laugh3:

Looks awesome Bill! I'm glad it's finally all coming together for you. Do you have any more shots of the front axle by any chance? Particularly from the front? I want to see it in all it's beauty. :kissyou:

Simply AWSOME! dude

 

[Ghost]

Sweet!

 

[kastein]

Holy crap! It moves! :yelclap:

You should autograph those jackstands and sell them to the highest bidder now that they aren't a critical element of your suspension.

 

[Justpunchit]

Awesome Bill!!!! It's great to see it move.

Thanks guys!

Scott, is this what you wanted? I can shoot photos of something else if need be. The little ram skid is the same 1/2" UHMW as the belly. Yes, I do need to do something tie up the steering lines (I'm thinking a little lightweight spring so it allows for movement when needed). Everything else is tied up nice. The ram not being centered causes the pass side to steer about ~4 degrees more than the driver's. If this was going to see any street use I'd be concerned, but since its not, I'm not.

Shot of the belly looking back (as you can see in the edges of the photo I still need to do the rockers):

Shot of the belly looking forward:

[insanity]

SWEET nice to see it off the jack stands!

 

[vetteboy]

Hmmph. Guess I'd better get to work if I hope to secure the 'Best Engineered' award again at NACfest.

 

[MasterPull]

Call me and we can talk about rope prices.

So does this mean you are coming on saturday for a shake down run?


Looks awesome Bill! :thumbup:

 

[Begster]

Wow Bill, that thing looks AWESOME.


I definitely want to be there for the break in run, I'll bring both my cameras to get lots of pics/vids.


[size=-3]P.S. - I'm a little disappointed I didn't get a notification like the others[/size]
