[I-R-POPS]

Got all the chassis done and the customer came got it to sand blast and paint it.
Here's the tranny mount finished

That's slicker than snot!!!!
Is that 3/16 material?
Do you mind if I copy it. Same frame that I'm using. [cl[cl[S[S

 

[joedoh]

I wish my tranny tunnels lined out that nice!

 

[DozerII]

Frame looks really good OI, It's gonna take some fancy metal work to fix that tunnel [ddd[ddd

No kidding, be nice if the others would end up with the small tunnel.

Thanks. I need to get that figured out how far i need to move the drive train to the rear now that I've got the cab mounted.

Its nice when things go your way once in a while. Tunnels not going take much at all.
Looking good.

 

[Old Iron]

POPS if you think the frames are the same in that area, I'll send you a DXF or SVG file of it. You can modify it for yours if it's not quite right.
We rolled her out for a sunshine shot today.
From this angle it looks like the tires are not centered in the wheel wells but, trust me my OCD wouldn't allow me to let that go

 

[I-R-POPS]

That looks even better outside. It's funny how a camera can make something look off then you have to convince your self the tape wasn't lying.

Thanks on the DXF file. I sent you a PM.

 

[Burgerman]

Looks sharp outside. [cl [P

 

[joedoh]

out in the sun where it belongs!


but you are midwest too, so out in the sun where you forget and lean on it and get a second degree burn on your arm. [cl[cl[cl

 

[Old Iron]

10-4 on the burn
The customer came and got the Corn Binder last evening. There's that camera placement thing again that bugs me. The front tires were turned to the right a little too.
After he gets the wiring done he's bringing it back for something else, he just didn't say what.
I just realized the sky has the same hues as the truck. Very fitting fro the ride home

 

[joedoh]

great shot!

You did some really nice fab working on this OI and quick too...
It's always a pleasure to watch your work...

 

[Old Iron]

We installed bumpers off the Dakota and was surprised as to how well they fit.
We cut an inch of the ends of the front is all and nothing off the back.
The taillights are not my choice
