[Rat33pickmup]

I am gonna start this week on getting all my pics of the 33 here in the build section. Anyways I got the front wheels painted this weekend and will get pics of that posted also and explain the build so far. Also found a cool little tin that I painted the green of the truck and am gonna use it for a glove box in the cab.

so its been a long last 2 weeks, I have pics on the camera but havent been able to down load them. I have been working on the 33 and the front end is under it. Wednesday I am going to get the bolts for the rear springs and a few other things and by the evening the chassis will be a roller. The 1/4 Elliptics are SO worth it on the looks and function just need to fine tune everything but that will be after it gets the finishing welds on everything. I will be getting pics on here as soon as I can. Thanks everyone for just bein the Great Guys and Gals.

Jim
p.s. I will start the pics I have on the computer.

and this is where I am building the 33, I went from a 30X30 shop on the west side ( I still own it) to this Carport on the east side of Washington, but hey the weather is so much better for me over here.

Lookin good. What are those springs from originally?

 

[chopper tom]

Dang man ,i love that rear set up's too cool !!!That A-arm is too much man!Thats a great idea if it works well!!!
I'll try to keep tabs on this one !!!!

 

[Rat33pickmup]

all 4 springs are from a 39 chevy 2dr Cdan of my Dads and I made them into the 1/4s. The A arm on the rearend is factory for a Suzuki Sidekick or Geo Tracker, it must work because me X father in law had 300K miles on one with same setup. I will give a parts list later today.

[hotrodron]

Thanks. I just read a book about a guy building a Track T and he cut some pinto springs down to 22" to use as quarter elliptics. Looked cool and worked great

 

[Blue]

Very nice..
I've been wanting to do a 4x4 with a 1/4 eliptical..
Let us know how it works on this
