What's not to like. I'm so amazed as to how fast you got all that done. You're not only a master welder but quite an engineer. Fantastic job Doze. [cl

Looking good. Your wasting no time at all. At this rate going for a ride by spring isn't out of the question. Keep at it.

Thanks Gunz, I'm hoping for mid April for a test drive, I kinda put the pressure on myself today by schedualing Sask Vehicle Standarts to come out for the inspection and Vin # issue in a month

By the way I got a quote for a tinted windshield from Quality Glass in Swift for under $100. tempered side glass for $75 each.

That's one Stout Looking frame....... I like it.

Thanks mdlahotrod, I'm pretty sure I'm not a master welder, I can lay a strip of Dog doodoo real easy

I think the modifications I did to the swing arms have taken away my doubts. 1"x3/8"rib.








And another piece of the puzzle came in the mail.

 

[Gunzenrosa]

Good deal on the glass, no pressure. One thing at a time. You seem to have a handle on the situation anyway.

 

[soltz]

That should hold it

Beefy!

Thanks guys, that's what I'm hoping. won't get much done today, between work and going to the city for the Doc.

 

[DozerII]

Big day today, the frame is complete, front end is assembled, frt. brakes installed









Now it's time for final assembly.

Question for you? should the tor-in be set at 1/4 or 1/8 inch?

 

[Torchie]

Toe in is usually some where between a 1/16 and an 1/8 of an inch.
1/4 inch seems much.

Thanks mdlahotrod.

Should have another update later today, been working on fuel lines, brake lines and main battery cables. and also a major dung-out of the shop so I could find stuff. Moved two out/board motors, two inboard/outboard motors and a wack of parts to my storage garage.
