too much jeep stuff in college appartment

Keep in mind he spaced his out, didn't go right up against the inside of the rocker IIRC.

ah... hmm. i think you're right. i'm going to have to investigate. i have 2x2x1/4 box too so i can tie it into the unibody rail (and probably cut the floor)

speaking of them getting a date with a hole saw, i think your phase converter could help with that.



if i have motivation i'll go cut some and hold a piece of 2x6 and show you, but i think bill has a picture in his thread of exactly what i mean.

buy an extra hole saw so we can do mine at the same time :thumbup:




go look in Starboard's boatside thread for the whole 2x5 vs 2x6 thing for pics

if we go slow we will only need 1. your sig is less of a funny statement, but more a constant reminder.

help a brother out. i'm way to damn lazy to go find it.

 

[foxwar71]

more of a constant reminder that i have a bridgeport and you do not?




ooooohhhhhhh





but yeah, i remember back in high school trying to drill a 1/2" hole thru 1/4" plate at like 2000 rpm. ive since learned about the whole "going slow" thing


.!..!.

As soon as it gets nice out I am picking up a bunch of 3x3x3/16 (maybe x1/4) to plate the center of the unibody some 2x6 box for rockers, and some 1.5" box to tie the two together and make some semi halfass boatsides; the "boatsides" part is just so the braces between the plated unibody and the rocker don't get hung up on anything.

Now I forget how much I was quoted around here. I know I posted or PMed it at some point a while back. Time to go searching.

Edit: Oh, it was Ken that I PMed months ago about steel prices :gee: so Ken, just for reference to back then... The last time I was at the shop it was about $5.90 per foot for 2" x 4" x 3/16"; so I suppose you can guesstimate how much other sizes would be from there. LMK when you are thinking about ordering; if you want I could place my order at the same time and have it delivered to my place for free. Then I could cut it down to length and throw it in the XJ and bring it up to you, or you could the truck down and cut it to length yourself... I just plan on making big enough orders from now on so that they will deliver it to my house... It was a PITA to get to the shop since their hours kinda sucked with my work schedule.

i already have all the steel i need except for link material :moon: but thanks :conceited

other progress tonight: dissasembly of the 300 continued. it's not fully apart except for the rear output shaft coming out of the case... i can't get the gear off the shaft with just mah hammer. i think i need a press for this one i also stripped the 231 down in a tad more than a half hour. i feel like i could do a SYE hella fast by now. it's pretty much time to start making a clocking ring and an intermediate plate.

i still have to reassemble the driver's side D44 lockout hub, so i'll probably do that tomorrow when i have daylight.

edit: I'M GETTING NEW D300 GEARS FOR THE COST OF A FLATE RATE BOX!!!! HELL YEAH!

Yeah, cause you would stop by in your truck and pick up steel from my place... or I would drive up to your place?

FTR, I was mentioning to Ken what the steel prices were last time I was at the shop; & that I could pick up steel and have it delivered to my place (if the price range around my town is better than what he could get up near Worcester). Plus I can get full 20 ft lengths delivered to my place so don't have to deal with the $15 per cut fee. Can just cut them here.

Anyway, sorry if you thought I was talking to you. I wasn't :moon::laugh3:

So where's the pics?

 

[asp]

I was waitin to just start a build thread in the adfab forum... I don't even remember where I left off in here. So many things have been changed. I'll catch up with this thread soon I hope.

 

[RCman]

Updates?

 

[asp]

Things have been done, but no pictures taken. Tonight will be dedicated to garage cleaning and documenting.

Briefly, here's what's been done:
-interior stripped
-engine and transmission pulled
-roof, d-pillar, and rear floor cut out
-made a cart for my mig welder

I hadn't bothered to post anything because I knew there were no pics to go with.

Don't do that... I/we want progress.




No pictures? BS, rumor has it there are cell phone pictures floating around. Also, I've seen some video.
