shizzl Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 i will be adding some padding to it mate... the best thing is though shes a shoehorn fit,which means i cant move around in it so less chance of getting hurt that way,the padding will just make it a bit better.. the simpson platinum sternum belts should be sweet too..

shizzl Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 big day in the workshop today.. got the seat base mounts and plate done.. steering shaft,wheel hub and wheel is on. re welded the drop arm tube to the pitman hub for the box. made a battery box. welded in the fish(spelling?) plates above the diff. ground down the unnecessary welds etc. decided were going to drop the tank down through the cross brace. battery box will go in the back now. found out that the front beam shock mounts are out of alignment so well chop them off and remount the shocks aswell as the towers. none of this stuff would have been done with out the help of guy stewart.. a hive of knowledge and skill,and a great motivator, knows what needs to be done and just gets it done... pics of todays effort to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shizzl Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 big ups to HUNTED for the steering wheel... it actually suits stockcars good...in a huge hit itll bend saving your wrists.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 another big day in the workshop... swapped the front beams over cos the shock mounts on the one in the car were all tweaked out on a stupid angle which would cause the shock to bend and break..not good.. so the new one aligns the shocks alot better... also clearenced the hubs and fitted grease nipples to the king pins and drop arm tube.. cut the tank mount off that i made,will drop the tank down.. put the calipers on.....i might have to make a steering stopper cos it looks like the caliper banjo bolt will hit the beam under full lock.. was gonna make the dash skin but have to head home to watch the warriors...
